Our parish childrens’ Sparrows Choir will perform a concert here at St. Elias together with the Port Credit Sparrows. This is sure to be a wonderful presentation and a suitable start to Holy Week. Selections from our liturgical tradition will be included with performance of Stabat Mater. If you haven't heard our sparrows singing- you will be delighted and amazed. Please support our children with your presence . Tickets may be purchased in the church hall.

Ecumenical Kolyada
Sunday evening, January 8, a gathering of Christians took place in our church
consisting of believers from 5 Pentecostal/Evangelical Ukrainian and Russian speaking congregations in the GTA
Beginning with a welcome in the nave of the church and Kolyada sung by members of our parish all proceeded to the parish hall for two hours of Christmas songs of those communities. This was followed by another hour of food and fellowship.
A very edifying evening - different, and yet, sharing the same joy of the Feast!
We look forward to hosting these congregations again soon!
Fr. Roman
