The parish of St. Vladimir in Halifax was blessed to have his Eminence Archbishop Irenee visit on the eve of Theophany.
His Eminence presided at the Divine Liturgy and the service of the Great Blessing of Water in church.
On Sunday, after the Divine Liturgy, the clergy and faithful of the parish went to the Atlantic ocean, and blessed the waters there.
The blessing of the ocean is particularly relevant to our small parish as we have parishioners who earn their living at sea, including catechumens in the Royal Navy.
