Sts. Peter and Paul Serbian Orthodox Church is located in Sudbury, Ontario. It is a church parish under the omofor of Bishop Mitrofan (Kodić) of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Canada.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
There were many ethnic organizations in Sudbury in the 1930s, but few churches. The following Serbian national and patriotic organizations existed in Sudbury: Serb National Federation (1929), Circle of Serbian Sisters (1937), Serbian National Defense Council (1942), and the Serbian Club (1944). The Church life was organized only much later.
Bishop Dionisije Milivojević visited Sudbury on his first visit to the Dominion of Canada on 16 October 1940 soon after he arrived in New York City that same year. World War II hindered progress towards purchasing land and establishing a church until 1952 when the Church School Congregation was founded. The first parish priest Rev. Dragoslav Kaserić had to work in the mines because the parish could not afford to pay him a salary for his services. After Rev. Kaserić came hieromonk Pavle Pomanov and Rev. Milan Radojević, who came to Canada via Australia. The services were held in the Serbian Community Centre which was purchased in 1944.
With the church split in 1963 the Sudbury parish went with the defrocked Bishop Dionisije and not the Mother Church. At the same time, the new church was built in 1964 and dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, and named Sts. Peter and Paul Free Serbian Orthodox Church.[4][5]
There were several families who remained with the Mother Church on the recommendation of Rev. Bogdan Zjalić, and a missionary parish was established while the schism lasted until 1992. The parish priests who served the missionary parish were: V. Rev. Mirko Višnjić, Rev. Borko Borčić, Rev. Miloje Raičević, Abbot Simeon Grozdanović, Rev. Zarko Mitrović, and Rev. Mihailo Doder. On 16 August 1970, Bishop Sava (Vuković) visited Sudbury and suggested renewing the Church School Congregation. After the reconciliation in 1992, the two Church School congregations merged into one under the jurisdiction of the New Gračanica Metropolitanate.[6]
