Добро пожаловать в православный приход св. равноапостольного князя Владимира Киевского

The first thing you will want to know is something about our parish. Let’s start with our patron saint — St.Vladimir: It was through his efforts that the whole of that part of the world and its people known as The Rus, became Christian and Orthodox. Let me tell you that St. Vladimir Orthodox Church has more English language speaking parishioners than any other.

St. Vladimir Parish was started by Father Vladimir Tobin as an English Mission and you would feel right at home. St. Vladimir, our Patron Saint, the Prince of Kiev was instrumental in the conversion of that part of the world, Rus, to Orthodoxy, more than a thousand years ago? The Orthodox Church has been teaching about Jesus Christ for more than 2,000 years, and that it has not altered those incredible teachings? Frequently we get asked, «Do you believe in the Bible?» Our answer has to be, «Of course we do, Orthodox Christians wrote the New Testament!» Orthodox Christians wrote the Gospels, the Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles, and the great Revelation. The Orthodox Church (Orthodox meaning right believing) is the ancient and the modern Christian Church, which stretched and still stretches as far back as to St. Peter and St. Paul, and the other Disciples and Apostles, who, led by the Holy Spirit, traveled The Holy Land and far beyond.

The Orthodox Church may be more than 2000 years old, but we live now, by holding on to Traditional Christian teachings. We live in and are part of the 21st Century. Glory to God!

It would be an adventure to visit St Vladimir Prince of Kiev church, and you would be welcome. We don’t criticize, we don’t judge, and there are lots of children.

Saturday evening at 6pm we serve Vespers, which takes about an hour. Sunday 10am we serve Liturgy, which takes about two hours on a regular Sunday. The coffee time that follows lasts as long as people stay and chat, and eat, and drink tea and coffee. Our people love being in each others’ company so we don’t hurry away.

How did we learn about the Church? By being part of the community. So, we await — to welcome you.

Благослови вас Господь!

Where are our clergy?

  • At the time of writing, Fr. David is still recovering from his surgery at home. He is improving considerably and would like to thank everyone who has stayed with him and provided meals. We continue to pray for him.
  • Fr. Stelian is serving in Cape Breton this weekend.
  • Fr. Alexander will be serving this weekend, assisted by the deacon.

Catechumen Class
The Catechumen class is canceled for this week, due to logistics. Fr. Stelian will likely do some catechism at Cape Breton. The next class will be on February 23rd. As always, please reach out to any of the clergy if you have any questions about Orthodoxy. If we do not know the answer, we can find out.

Confessions
Due to the current shortage of priests, please try to come to church on Saturday evening for Vigil to have confession if at all possible. Please leave Sunday morning open for those who cannot come on Saturday due to distance, work, or numerous other circumstances. This will ensure that the serving priest(s) can adequately meet the needs of the parish as well as serve the Divine Liturgy in a timely manner. This is also important to remember as we enter Great Lent with all its additional services.

Fast Free Week
The Pharisee proudly, arrogantly, proclaimed to God that he upheld all the laws to the letter. Conversely, the Publican could not turn his eyes up to heaven, but humbly prostrated himself, begging for God's forgiveness for his numerous sins.
The Holy Fathers declared this week (February 10-16) to be fast free for two reasons: first to fortify ourselves before the coming Lent, and second to recall to our minds that God forgave the humble, repentant man rather than the proud man who fasted twice a week. It is not merely an allowance for human frailty, it is strictly forbidden to fast this coming week (except for the normal fast before receiving Communion).


Teens Evening
For kids/teens of a certain higher level of maturity, at the church on Saturday at 4pm, before Vigil, we will have a fire, hotdogs, and a Q&A with whatever clergy are there. So bring any questions with you. I will bring something sweeter to cook over the coals as well...
-Julian

Upcoming Baptisms
Please pray for those who will be baptized in Cape Breton this weekend!

Calendars
Our calendars have arrived and are available for purchase. They will be available in the narthex for $15. Specially marked envelopes will be provided for their purchase.
