Dear faithful parishioners,

As of Monday, April 19, Ontario announced a strict stay at home lockdown. With these new restrictions we are allowed only 10 persons in the Church.  Due to these restrictions, no one will be allowed inside to attend Church services until further notice.  As such, our scheduled services will continue to be live streamed on Facebook and our website.

For tonight’s Presanctified Divine Liturgy, anyone who comes must remain inside their vehicle in the parking lot. DO NOT congregate outside of your vehicle as this is prohibited under the new restrictions. A Church volunteer will direct you when you can come and light a candle.  Holy Communion will be offered at the end of the service. 

Regarding Holy Week and Easter Services, more detailed guidelines will be posted on our website, Facebook and email by this Friday.

Please know that we are doing our very best to offer spiritual nourishment to our parishioners while following public health protocols. We appreciate your patience, love and continued support.

God bless and Kali Anastasi! A Blessed Resurrection!

The doors will open 15 minutes before each Holy Service.  Once our restricted capacity is reached you will be asked to wait outside or in your vehicles.  If you would like to light a candle in the Narthex you will be allowed to do so then you must return outside.  Those wishing to receive Holy Communion will be allowed to do so following the Liturgy.

Live streaming of all services will continue with the exception of Wednesday evenings 6 pm Pre-Sanctified Liturgies. Please share this information with anyone you think has not received this communication.

May the Holy Trinity continue to bless and guide us,
