On June 7th-9th 2024, the First Orthodox Conference was held at the Holy Theotokos Convent in Cedar Valley, Canada. The conference, held on Friday and Saturday, was attended by Clergy and faithful from Canada and abroad, with 4 speakers who each gave a talk concerning the modern issues of Orthodox Christians in these times. Despite many temptations the conference was a success and God willing will become an annual event in our Church.
On Saturday night the Vigil for St. John the Russian was served followed by Hierarchical Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning served by Metropolitan Philarete of France and co-celebrating Clergy. The Liturgy was followed by a procession and Holy Water service at the site of the future building of St. John the Russian, where the foundation stone was also blessed by Metropolitan Makarios of Toronto, Metropolitan Philarete of France, and the Clergy.
