About Us

WHO WE ARE

Over one hundred years, the Antiochian Orthodox faithful of Prince Edward Island kept the faith and hope alive in their hearts that one day their desire for a place of worship would become a reality. On the blessed event of June 1994, His Eminence, Metropolitan PHILIP, charged the Reverend Father Ron Parsons to visit Charlottetown – Prince Edward Island, to ascertain the interest and means to initiate an Orthodox Mission. Father Ron’s visit proved to be successful; for the first time the faithful were brought together in a collective voice that affirmed an interest in establishing a Church Mission.

By July of the same year, despite the heavy demands of his parish, the Reverend Father Maximos Saikali, of St. Anthony Antiochian Orthodox Church of Halifax, Nova Scotia, commenced making regular visits to the Island, and holding service. Acting as the community’s temporary spiritual father he energized and guided our faithful in those first days. As well, by the end of the same month His Eminence, Metropolitan PHILIP, conferred his blessing and gave the Mission the name Saints Peter & Paul Antiochian Orthodox Mission.

OUR FAITH

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He arose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.

In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
