June 1 , 2008 We have a priest! We are very pleased and excited to welcome our new full-time priest Father Christopher Rigden-Briscall, who will be joining us on Saturday, June 21st for his first Liturgy at Christ the Saviour Mission. Father Iskander will also serve with him on this day; thereafter, we can now look forward to a regular schedule of Sunday services, starting Sunday, June 22nd. Father Chris comes to us from an O.C.A. parish in Vancouver. We also very much look forward to welcoming his wife and four children once they arrive in Kitchener-Waterloo. Welcome, Fr. Chris!! February 24, 2008 On March 15th, Bishop Alexander will be joining us for Divine Liturgy. January 27 , 2008 On March 22nd, we will be visited by Fr. Peter Gillquist, Director of the Department of Missions and Evangelism for the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese. He is an exceptional speaker and will be giving a talk after Liturgy and coffee hour.
November 24, 2007 We have wonderful news in announcing the purchase of a church building by Christ the Saviour Antiochian Orthodox Mission of Waterloo. This is a tremendous blessing for the Mission and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the parish; as well as many new challenges. The building at 96 Dunbar Rd. South, Waterloo, formerly the residence of "The First Unitarian Congregation of Waterloo" will be our new home as of the 28th of November. Things are falling into place quickly as we have already purchased an iconostasis and have received many items by way of donation from area churches to help us get up and running. We are humbled by, and incredibly grateful for their generosity. With a building of our own and room to grow, we are now very close to being not just a "mission", but a "church" indeed. September 19, 2007 The icon stand at the Kitchener Farmer's Market will be discontinued for a time, however, icons, prayer lamps and censers, along with adult and childrens' Orthodox books will continue to be available after most Saturday liturgies. December 20 , 2006 A few notes from past bulletins that bear repeating:
Also please note that Sunday school for children aged 3 to 13 is available during Liturgy. November 26, 2006 Today we marked a very joyful milestone in the life of our parish. Metropolitan Philip has formally blessed us to continue our worship here in Kitchener-Waterloo as a full-fledged mission under the precious name of Christ the Saviour. We pray that this name will be a constant reminder that He is the center of our lives and that without Him we cannot do anything. Metropolitan Philip has entrusted us with the work of witnessing in English to the eternal truth and beauty of our Orthodox Christian faith. We are grateful for the prayerful leadership and encouragement provided to us by both Metropolitan Philip and Father Iskander. May we be found worthy to continue our work and worship as a united and loving family. Additionally, we may announce that Fr. Iskander has newly appointed the three members of our first Parish Council for the term of one year. They are: President: Chris Papastergiou
