Welcome!

Applications welcome throughout the year

Do you have a year to spare?

Do you have a year to actively serve the poor and disadvantaged in the context of a full Orthodox liturgical life? Can you give one year to really seeking God’s will in your life or to finding, perhaps, new ways to serve the Church? Do you want a year in which to discover and develop your talents?

I want to invite you personally to consider this new opportunity to study and to deepen your Orthodox faith, to experience first-hand what inner-city mission work is like and to live and learn in community with people from other parts of the world.

With the blessing of our bishop, Metropolitan Nicholas of Amissos, of the Carpatho-Russian Diocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, we are able to offer any adult Orthodox Christian (over 18) a unique opportunity of learning, living and praying our Orthodox faith.

With over 21 years of active service among the poor of Toronto, the St John the Compassionate Mission wishes to establish this Lived Theology School as an innovative and creative way of sharing with others the experience of these years, in the hope that you will learn with us and will take this experience into your own lives and parishes and create new ways of being involved in your local community and in the lives of all those in need.

If you think this could be for you, welcome again! Use the information on this website and contact us.
