'''Vancouver, BC, Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, 1938, 1954'''

==Foundation of the parish, 1938==

Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church was formally initiated in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver Vancouver], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia British Columbia], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Canada Canada], by the [https://russianorthodoxchurch.ca/en/60-years-of-holy-trinity-parish/2320 Archpriest Philemon Gorelik], who desired to purchase and preserve the Orthodox church building which had been built by the late [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Archpriest_Alexander_Kiziun Archpriest Alexander Kiziun] (or Kizyun) between 1938 and 1940. This foundation marks the actual beginning of the community.

'''Archpriest Alexander Kiziun'''

[http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Archpriest_Alexander_Kiziun Archpriest Alexander Kiziun] was born within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire Russian Empire].

Having left before the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution Bolshevik Revolution], he had travelled to the [https://www.britannica.com/place/United-States USA] as a missionary. In 1916, in [https://orthodoxwiki.org/St._Nicholas_Cathedral_(New_York,_New_York) Saint Nicholas Cathedral] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York City], he was ordained to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Presbyter Priesthood] by [[Archbishop Alexander (Nemolovsky)]] of the [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/A_Chronological_History_of_the_Archdiocese_of_Canada,_Part_1#Year_1900_:_diocesan_developments_;_increasing_missionary_activity_in_Canada North American Diocese] of the "[https://orthodoxcanada.ca/The_%E2%80%9CRussian_Mission%E2%80%9D_in_North_America Russian Mission in North America]". Afterwards, he was given several parish assignments, which took him to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta Alberta], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada Canada]. Then, in 1931, Father Alexander was moved to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver Vancouver], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia British Columbia], where he was assigned to be the rector of [[Vancouver BC Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Sobor 1924 |Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church]]. At that time, this parish was still on 7th Avenue. Father Alexander served there from 1931 to 1937.

[[File:Alexander Kiziun 1.jpg]] '''Archpriest Alexander Kiziun (1892-1953)'''

'''Construction of the Temple, 1940'''

However, in 1937, because of differences with the parish administration, he was forced to leave. As a consequence, he moved into the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Russian_Orthodox_Church_Outside_Russia Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] (ROCOR). Then, almost single-handedly, with a few but loyal and reliable parishioners, he began the construction of the [https://russianorthodoxchurch.ca/en/60-years-of-holy-trinity-parish/2320 Holy Trinity Temple] on Campbell Avenue in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strathcona,_Vancouver Vancouver-Strathcona] district, in which lived many [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs Slavs] who had immigrated to Canada. The construction was completed in 1940. In effect, it was a “private” Temple, since it was built by Father Alexander on land owned by Father Alexander. The construction was on the basis of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_church_architecture traditional Russian canons for building Orthodox temples].

'''Two views of the Temple from the south'''

Those who came to attend this parish were of various nationalities – [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians Russians], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbs Serbs], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeks Greeks]. Eventually, there were also Canadians who had accepted the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Introduction_to_Orthodox_Christianity Orthodox Christian Faith]. Because there were many Serbs, who at that time did not have distinct Serbian temples, the parish was sometimes called either a "Russo-Serb" or a "Russo-Greek-Orthodox" parish. The term "Russo-Greek-Orthodox" seems to have been coined by [[Saint Tikhon (Belavin) |Bishop Tikhon (Belavin)]] when [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/The_%E2%80%9CRussian_Mission%E2%80%9D_in_North_America#Diocese_of_the_Aleutian_Islands_and_North_America,_1900 he was developing] a [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/The_Ordinances_-_1903,_1904 legal corporate status] for the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Archdiocese_of_Canada Orthodox Church in Canada] in 1902-1903. Father Alexander was never able to complete the Temple in all respects, but it was fit for worship. Father Alexander continued to serve there until the end of his life. He fell asleep in the Lord in 1953, and he was interred at the [http://vancouver.ca/your-government/mountain-view-cemetery.aspx Mountain View Cemetery] on Fraser Street.

==Bereavement, 1953==

On 3 June, 1953, [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Archpriest_Alexander_Kiziun#Repose,_1953 Archpriest Alexander Kiziun fell asleep in the Lord] in Vancouver.

The [http://www.archbishop-of-ottawa/content/burial-services-over-presbyter-or-over-bishop Funeral Services for the Burial of a Priest] were offered in Holy Trinity Church.

After the funeral obsequies, the body of Archpriest Alexander Kiziun was interred at [https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1968309/Mountain-View-Cemetery Mountain View Cemetery] in Vancouver.

==Formal organisation of the parish, 1954==

In 1954, the parish was more formally organised under the guidance of [https://russianorthodoxchurch.ca/en/60-years-of-holy-trinity-parish/2320 Archpriest Philemon Gorelik], of the [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Vancouver_BC_Saint_Nicholas_Russian_Orthodox_Church_1950 Russian Orthodox parish of Saint Nicholas]. Because the Temple had been put up for sale by the widowed Matushka of Father Kizyun, there was a risk that someone would buy the Temple and either use it for other purposes, or raze it.

However, Father Philemon and the Saint Nicholas parishioners wished to save this Temple for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_diaspora Russian “diaspora”] (there were many people immigrating at that time). Therefore, Father Philemon and those parishioners managed to purchase the Temple from Matushka Kizyun. Then the Saint Nicholas community re-founded the parish of Holy Trinity. They provided a suitable constitution, and parish life continued in a normal fashion.

Then, Father Philemon remained at Holy Trinity parish, from where he cared for both communities. In 1956, the parish of Saint Nicholas received another priest, [https://zarubezhje-narod-ru.translate.goog/rs/S_734.htm?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Hieromonk Seraphim (Popov)]. Parish life continued to develop in 2 different Temples with 2 distinct communities and 2 distinct priests.

It is useful to keep in mind that it was in 1956 that [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Vancouver_BC_Holy_Resurrection_Russian_Orthodox_Sobor_1924 Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church] (in the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Archdiocese_of_Canada Archdiocese of Canada] of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Orthodox_Church_in_America Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of North America] (ROGCCNA)) had been forced by the City of Vancouver to move from its original site because of the construction of a bridge. It was in this year that their new Temple was constructed and sanctified at 43rd Avenue and Quebec Street, to the south of these parishes.

==Reconciliation of the ROCOR and the Moscow Patriarchate, 2007==

On the Feast of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ascension Ascension of Christ] (17 May, 2007), [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Metropolitan_Laurus_(Skurla) Metropolitan Laurus (Škurla)], along with many of the clergy of the ROCOR, participated in the signing of the “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_Canonical_Communion_with_the_Moscow_Patriarchate Act of Canonical Communion]” in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Moscow Moscow], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Russia Russia]. Together with this signing, Metropolitan Laurus (Škurla) participated in serving the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Patriarch Patriarchal] [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy] with the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Patriarch Patriarch] of [https://www.britannica.com/place/Moscow Moscow], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_Alexy_II_of_Moscow Aleksey II (Ridiger)], at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Christ_the_Saviour Christ the Saviour Cathedral] in Moscow.

==60 years : 2014 ; Archpastoral visitation by Archbishop Gabriel (Chemodakov)==

By May, 2014, 60 years had passed since the establishment of the [https://russianorthodoxchurch.ca/en/ Holy Trinity Parish] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Orthodox_Church_Outside_of_Russia Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] (ROCOR) in Vancouver, British Columbia. This anniversary was marked by the Holy Trinity parish on the day of the Holy Trinity, the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Pentecost Feast of Pentecost] (the Feast of the Descent of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Spirit Holy Spirit]), which is the patronal feast-day of the Temple. For this event, the patronal feast and parish anniversary, the ruling bishop of the [https://mcdiocese-com.translate.goog/en/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Diocese of Canada], [[Archbishop Gabriel (Chemodakov)]] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal Montréal] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada Canada] visited Vancouver.

On the eve and on the day of the Holy Day of Pentecost, Archbishop Gabriel presided at the celebration of all the services. On the day of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Trinity Holy Trinity], 8 June, Vladyka celebrated the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy], followed by Great [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Vespers Vespers] for the [https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2019/06/17/46-postfeast-of-pentecost-day-of-the-holy-spirit Day of the Holy Spirit], and he lead the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procession Cross-procession] around the Temple. At the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Little_Entrance Lesser Entrance] of the Divine Liturgy, by decree of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Synod Synod of Bishops] of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Russian_Orthodox_Church_Outside_Russia Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] the archbishop awarded [https://russianorthodoxchurch.ca/en/church/batushka Archpriest Serge Overt], the right to wear a [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Pectoral_cross pectoral Cross] with jewels. Father Overt had already been the rector of many years, and Dean of the parishes of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Canada western part] of the [https://mcdiocese-com.translate.goog/en/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Diocese of Canada]. At the end of the service, Archbishop Gabriel read the [https://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/%D0%93%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B0?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Gramota] of Blessing (an honourary certificate) that was bestowed to the entire parish by the Synod of Bishops to commemorate the 60 years of its existence.

The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia is based on the mission of preserving the loyalty of the Russian Orthodox Christians in exile, the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_of_Russia Russian Orthodox Church], and the [https://www.britannica.com/topic/Russian-Orthodox-Church Russian Orthodox spiritual culture]. This mission has been carried out and executed in daily life in Temples, schools, and homes, and in the concern about preserving the Russian spiritual life as far as possible in a foreign environment.
