Fr Sebastian Scratch was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on September 24 (Feast of St Peter the Aleut) in Calgary. See below for a gallery of photos.

Inspired by last year's Orthodox adult education thematic series on the "Official Documents of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church - Pentecost 2016", this year's series "The Church in the World" will take a more in-depth approach to some of the challenges and social concerns facing the Orthodox Church and Christians today.

The one-hour sessions listed below will take place at 12.30pm, after coffee hour, following the Divine Liturgy at 10am.

All are welcome.

Clergy and faithful from St Benoît de Nursie Church and The Sign of the Theotokos Church welcome three new members into the Church by Baptism and Chrismation, followed by Divine Liturgy.

Serving along with Vladyka Irénée are: Fr Gregory Nimijean, Fr Justin Mitchell, Fr Dragos Guilea, Archdeacon Amvrosi Mlodzyk, Archimandrite Marc and Deacon Nicolas Svetlovsky.

Fr Samuel of the Holy Transfiguration Hermitage in Lone Butte, BC, reports that on the feast day of the Nativity of the Theotokos on Friday, September 8, our Lady sent them a wonderful birthday gift. A great downpour began and continued into the next day. The Elephant Hill fire which had traveled about 100km towards the hermitage and was raging approximately 8km from their doorstep, was thoroughly drenched.
