As 2025 approaches, St. Silouan the Athonite Orthodox Church celebrates growth, blessings, and continued outreach in the heart of Toronto. Over the past year, the parish has expanded by 20%, welcomed new catechumens, and enriched its spiritual and community life through initiatives like Phos (our Sunday school program) expansion, a vibrant liturgical life, and local outreach.

Highlights include:

• Parish Growth: A thriving multicultural community with a lease secured in the cathedral until 2029.
• Community Engagement: Weekly meals, seniors' knitting circles, and children’s homework clubs, creating a haven of camaraderie and care.
• New Noble Joseph House Ministry: Focused on holistic care, including plans for a foot care clinic, medical services, and support for individuals living with diabetes.
• Diocean Blessings: Hosting Metropolitan Gregory and sponsoring children for Camp Nazareth.

This year, the church aims to raise $25,000 to support these programs and expand its ministry. Donations over $500 will be acknowledged with a name inscription on the parish’s iconostasis.

Thank you for supporting our mission to reflect Christ’s love in the heart of Regent Park!

PS:
​This year's fund-raising campaign is acutely challenged by the Canada Post strike:  we cannot get our Christmas appeal letters out.  

If you could forward or share the link to this page, to someone you know, it would be greatly appreciated.
