Originally founded in the 1950s to service the spiritual needs of Russian Orthodox Christians in the Ottawa region, the current church was built in 1988 to commemorate 1000 years of Christianity in Russia.

Adjacent to the church stands St. Vladimir’s Russian Seniors Residence that provides accommodations to qualified persons over the age of 65.

The church is the house of God, so we must dress and conduct ourselves with respect and consideration for those in prayerful concentration. It is customary for women to wear dresses of a moderate length and a head covering. Men and boys should wear long trousers. Women typically stand on the left and men on the right. Movement should be kept to a minimum and no movement at all should take place during the Eucharist. Parents are responsible for monitoring their children and instilling in them reverence and proper behaviour.

4worldlovers: A great opportunity to draw close to God and to each other. Join us for book study as we read a spiritual book together.
