His Eminence Archbishop Irénée has visited three Québec parishes in the last month.

On 21 November, Vladyka visited St Benoît de Nursie Church in Montréal for the Feast of Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple. He concelebrated with the parish's rector, Fr Elias Fonseca, and Deacon Denis Letunovsky. 

Vladyka served on the Feast of the Theotokos, 28 November, at The Sign of Theotokos Church in Montreal, concelebrating with Fr Paul Kara, Hieromonk Serafim Tregubov, and Deacon Denis Letunovsky.

Two years ago Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Québec City and I were blissfully preparing to celebrate our 70th anniversary, and of course by April we were in lockdown. After the subsequent rather painful adjustment to online worship, I managed to put together a slideshow of the 70 years of our parish life. Granted there is a gap in the photos during the nearly 20 years when our parish was dormant, sometime in the 1980s regular services resumed in our parish. By the end of last year this slideshow was ready and we celebrated our 70th on Zoom.
