Denomination: Orthodox Church
St Philip the Apostle Orthodox Mission is a community in the Archdiocese of Canada of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA).
In October of 1999, our first Divine Liturgy service was celebrated by Fr Dennis Pihach and Dn Andrew Piasta at the Stanford Inn Hotel in Grande Prairie. Our next service was celebrated in November of 1999 again with Fr Dennis and Dn Andrew in the chapel of Northern Funeral Alternatives, which serves as our present place of gathering.
Over the past year, the parish, through the efforts of the members, has put together a complete chapel (Altar table, tetrapod, icons, etc) as well as vestments and vessles necessary to celebrate Divine Liturgy.
The future of the community is to continue to meet at this chapel with the below-mentioned clergy serving. And with God’s grace that we can someday have a church.
