History of our parish and our temple

One of the first Russian Orthodox parishes in Canada and oldest Russian Orthodox parish in Toronto will mark 100 years of service in 2015.
The history of our church is extremely rich with events and especially with people, participants of those events. As if in a focus, around and inside of our church, the whole eras of Russian life in all of its distinctions passed by.

Life of our parish

Feast of the Holy Spirit

  On Sunday, May 23rd, Christ The Saviour Russian Orthodox Cathedral celebrated with the rest of the Orthodox world the Pentecost, or the Feast of the Holy Spirit. As the rector of the Cathedral, Father Oleg Kirillow has noted, this bright feast is really a birthday of the Holy Orthodox Church. Our Church indeed was founded not by some individuals, but by the Holy Spirit, which came upon the Apostles on the fiftieth day after Easter!






  Also, on May 23rd, Alexandra Andreevna Sudmalis celebrated her 99th Birthday! We wish her good health and many, many years of life!

Easter celebration at the Church School

   On Saturday, April 10, 2010 our Church School named after Great Duchess Olga celebrated Easter by giving a performance based on a Russian fairy tale "Kolobok" (ball-cake). Children's performance, their costumes and production was quite remarkable, including unusual sound production of the show. Even the rector of the Cathedral, Fr.Oleg had a small but important role to play - he gave a blessed Easter egg to the main character of Kolobok. The director of the show, who is also a drama teacher Ekaterina Sergeevna, shot the whole performance on video, which we should have on our web site soon.

On the same day the School director Elena Cioppa and Parish priest Fr.Roman celebrated their birthdays, on which they were congratulated by the Sisterhood.
