News & Events

The ongoing pandemic continues as a matter of concern throughout the world, but as vaccinations take hold and health precautions are eased, a more normal parish and worship life is beginning to be experienced across the archdiocese. In many parishes, the August feasts of the Transfiguration and Dormition have provided the opportunity for the faithful to gather again to give thanks to God for all his saving mercies and protection during a time of trial.

The feast of St Seraphim of Sarov was celebrated in Rawdon with a Hierarchical Liturgy with Archbishop Irénée. Concelebrating with Vladyka were Fr Alexander Janowski, Fr Anatoliy Melnyk, Fr Stelian Liabotis, Fr Serafim Tregubov, Fr Alexandru Gheras, and Deacon Denis Letunouski.

The Quebec restriction on outdoor events was raised to 500 people on August. Unfortunately, we did not have that many people for this event, but we did manage to have a good attendance.
