Holy
Resurrection parish was established in 1976 to meet the needs of
Orthodox Christians living in the area who desired an
English-speaking parish which would enable them to grow in the
faith, enjoying an active, Christ-centered caring community.
From its beginning, the commitment of the community has been to
embrace and minister to any and every person that the Lord
brought to it. As a result, we are a diverse community. Our
membership includes many from non-Orthodox backgrounds as well
as many from traditional Orthodox backgrounds: Ukrainian,
Russian, Romanian, Egyptian. In the last 10 years, our ranks
have embraced immigrants from places such as Eritrea and the
Sudan. Our regular attendance comes from roughly 70 households.
In addition, we care for a larger community of immigrants who
are struggling to put down roots and find direction in this new
land. We covet the prayers of anyone who will intercede on our
behalf as we strive to be God's servants in carrying our His
work.
We are a parish of the
Orthodox Church In
America, Archdiocese of Canada.
