St Silouan Orthodox Mission

As most of you are aware, we at St. Aidan’s are helping to sponsor a brand-new start-up Orthodox Mission in Lethbridge AB!

Our friend the newly ordained priest Fr. Patrick McLean will be heading up this mission, and he has already made great progress securing a wonderful location at Anderson Hall, Room AH100 on campus at the University of Lethbridge. We have collected over $2500 in start-up funds for St. Silouan.

Tax receipted donations can be made directly to support this fledgling mission by e-transferring to [email protected] and marking your donation “St. Silouan.” It is a great blessing to be able to contribute to the God pleasing start-up of a new Orthodox Church, and such a rare opportunity is now being presented to all of us. May God bless your generosity and richly reward your investment in His kingdom as you become part of the founders of this new Orthodox Church!

In addition to helping start the mission with supporting it financially, I would encourage you to spread the word out to anyone you might know in the Lethbridge area. Some of you have expressed interest in occasionally going down to support Fr. Patrick and Matushka Donna by attending a Vespers and/or a Divine Liturgy. Perhaps gathering a car full on occasion. Fr. Patrick will be serving with us here at St. Aidan this weekend, so this will be a good opportunity to ask him more about the new St. Silouan Orthodox mission before it officially launches on Sept. 6 and 7, 2025.
