Mission and Evangelism
At St. Silouan’s, we strive to throw open the doors of our parish, allowing for the grace of Christ to touch those who are in any kind of need or want.
The Missions and Evangelism ministry tries to find ways of bridging dialogue and engagement between the parish and the wider community, so that the church can be in dialogue with society.
Like the first churches of early Christianity, We provide regular ‘hospitality’ to the community within and without, creating opportunities to connect with our neighbours in Regent Park, and the wider Toronto community, inviting all to “come and see.”
If you would like to contribute to this mission please reach out to Sub Deacon Michael.

- Staying connected with those who have been absent for an extended period

Special events
Ordinations, special guest visits, saints’ days, Slavas…
A year in the life of our community is packed!
And on feast days like Christmas and Pascha – we all pitch in and pull out all the stops. We know how to celebrate!
The Special Events ministry organizes the events that celebrate these milestones in the life of our parish.
Working closely with other ministries from Parish Beautification, to Communication to Agape, the special events group plans the event and coordinates the necessary actions: decoration, food, clean-up, signing-up volunteers etc.
