Best Armenian Church Edmonton Near Me

4worldlovers:
Elcome to St. Anthony's Ukrainian Orthodox Parish - a friendly, vibrant and diverse congregation on the west side of Edmonton. Our parish's inclusive nature has attracted many members whose mother tongue is not Ukrainian. One of our strengths is the cohesiveness of our culturally and ethnically mixed congregation, especially given the wide range of ages in our membership. With this strong diversity and the attractiveness of Orthodoxy in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, our parish continues to grow both spiritually and in membership.

We invite you and your family to join us in our Sunday and other worship services. You are also welcome to attend, and participate in, our many parish social and community events and activities.
