Welcome to Our Parish

Our parish traces its history to 1926. The present church, at the corner of East 13th Avenue and Prince Albert Street, was built in 1950–1952 through the labours of Archpriest Filimon Gorelik and the parishioners.

For almost a hundred years, people of many generations have prayed here — descendants of the first émigrés, newly arrived families, their children and grandchildren. Services follow the traditional Orthodox order of worship.
