Christ The Saviour Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Sermon on 14th Week After Pentecost by the rector arch-priest Oleg Kirilow on August 29, 2010.
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.
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!
On Holy Saturday early morning the priest of Christ The Saviour Russian Orthodox Cathedral Fr.Roman Pavlov and his wife, matushka Olga were blessed with the newborn son!
The mother and baby feel good.
Congratulations, best wishes and Many Years to the newborn and his happy mother and dad.
