Archdiocese of Canada clergy in Toronto joined together with other members of the Orthodox Clergy Association of the Greater Toronto Area at Panagia Greek Orthodox Church on 13 November to concelebrate the Feast of St John Chrysostom in the Divine Liturgy.

The liturgy was followed by a luncheon to honour the association's past president, Fr John Koulouras, who has been unable to serve in recent years following a severe stroke.

An icon of the Theotokos was presented to Fr John for his many years of service as president of the clergy association.

Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Toronto, with the blessing of Archbishop Irénée, has opened an Orthodox mission in Barrie, Ontario. Initially the missionary endeavour will consist of serving an Akathist once a month at the Kaleidoscoppe Play Centre.

The Archdiocesan Council Fall meeting was held at St Mark's Orthodox Church, Yorkton, SK on 11 and 12 October.
