Dear parishioners,
Join us in the fall clean-up of our parish property on Saturday, September 19th from 9am onward.
In addition to your good will, bring your gloves, rakes and other tools, so that we can tidy-up our property and socialize. All are welcome!

P.S. – this is also a great opportunity for high school students who want to accumulate their “volunteer hours”!
Dear parishioners,

Dear High-school and College students,
Помаже Бог!
Hope you’re all handling these restrictions and enclosures well.
With Fr. Ljubo’s blessing, we’re starting a youth reading club for our parishioners and friends, where we will be reading a book at a time on some Orthodox Christian topic that was published in English, and meet once a week to talk about what we have read: share impressions, questions, opinions, criticisms and hopefully try to learn more about our Faith (and life in general).
We will start with reading Clark Carlton’s “The Faith: Understanding Orthodox Christianity, An Orthodox Catechism”, which you can find at https://www.amazon.ca/Faith-Clark-Carlton-ebook/dp/B0088RDBKS/ (contact me directly if you are not able to use this format).
If interested to participate, please contact me directly by email at zoranradisic@yahoo.com so I can send you the meeting link and details, as well as help out with the getting a hold of the book itself.
This was envisioned for a younger readership (e.g. late teens and early 20s), but anyone interested to join is, of course, more than welcome.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Zoran Radisic
