PASCHAL ENCYCLICAL 2005


Orthodox Archbishop of Pec, Metropolitan of Belgrade-Karlovci and Serbian Patriarch Pavle, with all the Hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church—to all the clergy, monastics, and all the sons and daughters of our holy Church: grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, with the joyous paschal greeting:

CHRIST IS RISEN!

“Christ is risen, shaking the earth, Removing sadness and bringing joy”
(Holy Bishop Nicholai)

With these words of the Holy Bishop Nicholai we announce the most joyous of all days – the day when life manifested itself to the world, when death was defeated, when the doors to Hades were destroyed, the all-joyous day the day of Resurrection. The resurrection is the greatest event in our human history, our Divine-human eternity. It is the day, which delivers us out of all the worldly days and nights of this life, and brings us into the day without evening, the eternal day of God’s Kingdom. “Pascha is the Feast of all feasts and Celebration of all celebrations, which surpasses all other feasts and celebrations just as the sun surpasses the stars” (St. Gregory the Theologian). read more...


Another successful Garage Sale on Saturday, April 9, 2005. at the Center in Mississauga.


Our choir St.Sava hosted another successful Garage Sale on Saturday, April 9, 2005. at the Center in Mississauga.
Majority of the items (clothing, technical equipment, household items, books, toys etc) were sold in the early morning hours, and a revenue of $ 1800 has been collected.
We are happy that the efforts of many choir members in collecting items, setting up the place for the sale, advertising of the event and items sale have been duly rewarded.
We would also like to extend our thanks to all our donors and their sincere support during the event. Without their help the event would not be as successful as it really was. The choir is planning to have another Garage Sale, the exact time is to be announced later. For all your future donations, please call or send us an email at
416-626-5661 (Radmila)/ rkukolj@rogers.com or
1-519-940-4563 (Marina)/ m.milivojevic@rogers.com to arrange for "drop off" time.
Thanks, and have a wonderful summer!
