In our ongoing modernization, we have begun utilizing various forms of media to improve our communication with the parish and the greater Transcona community in which we are a part of.

An example being this invitation animation used as part of our digital invitation to the 70th Anniversary celebration.

Literally meaning "the good news". The good news of Orthodox Christianity is a proclamation of God's unbounded and sacrificial love for mankind, as well as the revelation of the true destiny of the human person. The Gospels were written by the four Evangelists, Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospels are central to our Faith: They describe the earthly life and teachings of our Lord and show us what we should do to follow God's will.

The metallic vessel with a container (censer insert) wherein a live charcoal is placed. This is a representation of the Holy Trinity. God The Father is the eternal fire, the uncreated light which is contained by The Son Jesus Christ. The smoke represents the "odour of spiritual fragrance" which is the enlightenment and power of The Holy Spirit. The twelve bells on the chains represent the voices of the Twelve Holy Apostles who proclaim the Good News of Salvation to the world. The ringing of bells is one of the most essential elements of an Orthodox church. Church bells are rung to: Summon the faithful to services and express the triumphal joy of the Christian Church. The burning of incense is symbolic of prayers rising to reach God in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Used to cut the bread (Prosphora) for communion. It symbolizes the spear that the soldier used to pierce the side of our Lord when our Lord was hanging on the Cross. The Spear is normally made of precious metal (or at least plated with silver and/or gold), has a point sharp enough to cut the bread, and will often have a cross at the end of the handle. The Spear, being a sanctified object, may not be used for any purpose other than the liturgical uses for which it is appointed.

One of the holy vessels used in the Divine Liturgy. The star-cover symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem. This small, folding metal covering keeps the veil from disturbing the particles of bread on the diskos. As the star-cover is one of the sacred vessels, it is usually kept where the bread and wine are prepared for Communion. No one except the priest or deacon should touch it.

This symbolises the Ever-virgin Mary, who received God the Word into her womb and gave birth to him, as well as the Tomb of Christ, which received his body after the Crucifixion and from which he resurrected. In addition to the large cube-shaped piece of prosphora, which is "The Lamb of God" there are commemorations for the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, the Prophets, Saints, Martyrs, Venerable Father and Mother Teachers of the Holy Orthodox Faith

A standing cup used to hold sacramental wine during Holy Communion. Chalices used in the important act of worship (ie, Communion) are treated with great respect. In Orthodoxy, all communicants receive both the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ. To accomplish this, small portions of the Body of Christ are placed in the chalice along with wine, and then the faithful receive Communion on a spoon. The faithful will often kiss the "foot" (base) of the chalice after receiving Holy Communion. The chalice is considered to be one of the most sacred vessels in Christian liturgical worship, and it is often blessed before use. The Holy Chalice is the vessel which Jesus used at the Last Supper to serve the wine.

The three candles of the trikirion, represent the Resurrection of Christ on the Third Day, as well as the three persons of the Holy Trinity, all three of whom were actively involved in the salvation of man in Orthodox theology. This Trikirion is used to consecrate Holy Water on the Holy Day of Epiphany and for other special occasions.  

The Sacrament of Holy Unction is offered for the healing of soul and body and for the forgiveness of sins. At the conclusion of the service of the Sacrament, the body is anointed with oil, and the grace of God, which heals infirmities of soul and body, is called down upon each person.

Used to apply annoited oil to the body. The Sacrament of Holy Unction is a sacrament of faith. It is meant for any sick person and is always celebrated in the hope that it will bring healing. While this certainly is the desired effect, it is not the indispensable condition of the Sacrament. The essential purpose of the sacrament is to allow the person to share in the victory of Christ and to raise him into the realm of God's Kingdom. It communicates spiritual power so that the trials of sickness may be borne with courage, hope and fortitude.

The priest holds the wedding crowns and makes the sign of cross with them three times over the bride and groom. The wedding crowns are linked together by a ribbon, representing the joining of two souls and that the couple is ready to create their own household, their own “kingdom”. Through the crowns, Christ establishes the couple as the King and Queen of their home, which they rule with wisdom, justice, and integrity. The crowns used in the Orthodox wedding ceremony also refer to the crown of martyrdom, since every true marriage involves self-sacrifice on both sides.
