A Western Rite Canonical Orthodox Parish In Edmonton
As an Orthodox priest rooted in the Western tradition from my youth, I've empathized with those earnestly seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith, only to be disheartened by the unfamiliarity of Eastern Rite Orthodox liturgical rituals. This sentiment isn't exclusive to me; one of my long-time parishioners, who transitioned from the Anglican tradition over two decades ago, has extended invitations to like-minded Anglicans. However, they often express that the Byzantine ritual feels 'too foreign'. In the Western Rite, we bridge both worlds, embodying the fullness of the Orthodox faith within the ancient liturgical traditions of the West.
Having a background as a former Roman Catholic, I understand the current struggles many Catholics face. The liturgical reforms stemming from Vatican II have caused ongoing challenges, and the recent scandals worldwide bring profound sadness. If you're seeking a community devoted to living the Apostolic faith, consider joining us.
Whether you identify as Anglican, Roman Catholic, Evangelical Christian, Presbyterian, Methodist, United, Lutheran, are or aren't currently aligned with any Christian denomination or new to Christianity, you're welcome to experience the worship of your ancestors.
Feel free to 'Come and See.'
God bless,
Fr. Michael+
