'''Lethbridge, Alberta, Saint Silouan Orthodox Mission, 2025'''

==Prehistory==

It is not clear when Orthodox Christians began to settle in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethbridge Lethbridge], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta Alberta], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada Canada]. It is likely that there were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia Serbian] people in Lethbridge from time to time after 1900, since there were many newcomers to Canada who were working in [https://history.alberta.ca/energyheritage/coal/the-early-development-of-the-coal-industry-1874-1914/coal-town-formation/albertas-first-coal-mining-community.aspx coal mines] and on the [https://albertarailwaymuseum.com/brief-history-alberta-railway/ railways]. However, their connexion with the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Introduction_to_Orthodox_Christianity Orthodox Church] was only in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary Calgary], Alberta.
It is known that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Canadians Ukrainians] began to arrive in the region in the earliest part of the 20th century, although many were migrant workers, much as were the Serbs. Orthodox Ukrainians sometimes travelled south from the main [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edna-Star_colony Ukrainian Bloc Settlement] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Alberta Central Alberta] in order to find work in mines or with the railways.

The first visible presence in Lethbridge came in 1920 with the establishment of [https://sspeterandpaullethbridge.weebly.com/our-parish.html Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church]. It was a frequent occurrence that in the early days of Ukrainian settlement in Canada, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Greek_Catholic_Church Ukrainian Catholic Church] appeared first. This was largely because of the historical situation in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine Ukrainian homeland].

'''Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church'''

On 22 April, 1942, the [https://www.uocc.ca/parish/holy-trinity-parish-3/ Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Parish] was officially approved and was incorporated. It was at that time accepted into the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church] of Canada.

Then, after the end of World War II, there was an influx of newcomers to Canada, [https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CD%5CI%5CDisplacedpersonscamps.htm displaced Ukrainians], who, on immigration to Canada, arrived in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Alberta southern Alberta] in search of work in the [https://www.producer.com/farmliving/alberta-farm-features-decades-of-beets/ sugar beet fields]. It was then that the Holy Trinity Temple was built. This community celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2022.

'''Holy Assumption (Dormition) Orthodox Church'''

It was at about the same time as that construction that the Russian Orthodox Assumption of the Holy Virgin parish was established in Lethbridge. This community, belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) was established.

This parish was never large, but it was steady, and continued on as a witness past its 60th anniversary in 2025. Although this parish had become a bilingual community that used both Ukrainian and English, a great increase in immigration increased the proportion of Ukrainian used.

==Establishment of the mission, 2025==

In 2025, it was decided by [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Archbishop_Irénée_(Rochon) Archbishop Irénée (Rochon)] and the [https://www.oca.org/statute/article-x Archdiocesan Council] of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Archdiocese_of_Canada Archdiocese of Canada] to establish a missionary venture in Lethbridge, Alberta.

The name of the missionary community was determined to be "Saint Silouan Orthodox Mission".

[https://orthodoxwiki.org/Silouan_the_Athonite Saint Silouan of Mount Athos] was a hermit-saint of the 20th century, whose spiritual son, [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Saint_Sophrony_(Sakharov) Saint Sophrony of Essex, England], made him well known. Both were deeply concerned with the nurture of a loving relationship between the Lord Jesus Christ and His children.

The sponsoring parish was the [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Cranbrook_BC_Saint_Aidan_of_Lindisfarne_Orthodox_Church_2006 Parish of Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranbrook,_British_Columbia Cranbrook], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia British Columbia].

In May, 2025, [https://saintsilouan.ca/father-patrick-testimony/ Patrick McLean] was ordained to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Deacon Diaconate], and then to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Presbyter Priesthood] at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawdon,_Quebec Rawdon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec Québec], by [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Archbishop Irénée_(Rochon) Archbishop Irénée (Rochon)]). Upon returning to Alberta, he and Matushka Donna McLean travelled frequently to Cranbrook for further training under the supervision of [https://www.archdiocese.ca/clergy/applegate-priest-andrew-brent Priest Andrew Applegate]. Father Andrew Applegate continued to serve as mentor to Father Patrick McLean while the mission developed.

The first public services of the mission began to be offered in Lethbridge in early September, 2025. Soon, the community began its steady growth and development.

==Particular parish information==
