May 13: Get-Together and Dinner

Zoran Radisic

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On Saturday, May 13, we invite you to get together and to help our Parish through donations. Our hard-working brothers are preparing pig and lamb on a spit, along with other BBQ delicacies.

Dinner with entertainment starts at 7 p.m. We hope that our youth, who give a special energy to our small community, will also join.

Everyone is welcome!

New Parish Priest Fr. Đurađ Kojić

Zoran Radisic

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Based on the decision of the Eparchy of Canada, as of May 1, 2023, Father Đurađ Kojić has been appointed as the parish priest at the St. Archangel Gabriel Parish in Richmond Hill. Fr. Đurađ has been with us since December 2022 and is already well known and appreciated among our parishioners.

As a reminder, you can contact Father Đurađ by phone at 519-897-8448 or by email at duradkojic@gmail.com

We want to thank our prior parish priest, Fr. Ljubo Rajić, for everything he had done for our Parish, especially during the difficult times of bans and restrictions on worship and gatherings during Covid restrictions. His pastoral and spiritual leadership gave us the strength to overcome great trials and persevere as a community. We wish Father Ljubo all the best from the Lord!
