Dear Friends,

I regret to inform you that due to a breakdown of the heating boiler in the cathedral, we have to cancel our January 21 class.  The Parish Council is working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. 

Thank you for your understanding. Please check this page for updates.

 
Join us for Catechetical Classes (SEMESTER 2) starting on Tuesday, January 21 at 7:00 PM at Christ the Saviour Orthodox Cathedral in Toronto (823 Manning Ave., Toronto).
