On April 4, 2016, Maconnel and Sons moving company began to prepare the Holy Trinity Russo Orthodox Church to be moved off its foundation. It has recently been discovered that the foundation after 88 years has become defective and is not repairable. The solution required would be to remove the old basement and form a new one. The church has to be lifted and moved so workers can remove the old concrete and place new concrete. The members of the church met on March 27, 2016 and voted in favour of replacing the foundation.

The Archdiocesan Council Spring Session was held on April 6th – 8th in the assembly hall of Saint Peter and Saint Paul Cathedral in Montreal.

On Sunday, April 3rd, 2016, His Eminence Archbishop Irénée celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the new mission in Kitchener-Waterloo dedicated to "St Mary and the Brancoveanu Martyrs".

Concelebrating with His Eminence were Fr Didel Furtuna, pastor of the Mission, and the very Rev Alexandry Ichim. Over 70 faithful of all ages assembled to celebrate together. A festal meal was served after the Liturgy.

We ask your prayers for this new mission of our Archdiocese.
