GET TO KNOW OUR CHURCH COMMUNITY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

The Saint Nicholas community is one large Orthodox family. The people of this community know each other well, are dear to one another and pray for each other. The founder of the first Christian community was Christ himself, who taught His followers to be as one with love in their hearts; He who said \u201cFor where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them\u201d (Matthew 18 20). With that in mind the parishioners gather in our church and through different organizations and in many ways help each other and take care of their sanctuary and their national identity.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?<\/h4>

In church we should take care to: dress respectfully, not chew gum, not have our hands in our pockets, and to not distract other believers with laughter and conversation. Respectful attire does not include: short skirts, shorts, deep cut tops, provocative and flashy clothing.<\/p><\/article>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″]

PUNCTUALITY<\/h4>

One should try to avoid being late for services without good reason. Arriving on time will allow for time to light candles, attend the Holy Sacrament of Confession on a per need basis, and to settle in without disturbing others in prayer.<\/p><\/article>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

OUR PRIEST<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Protojerej-Stavrofor V. Rev. Vojislav Pavlovi\u0107<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rev. Vojislav Pavlovi\u0107, or as we often call him, our Father Voja, has been the parish priest at St. Nicholas on Barton St. since January 1, 1995. He took over for Prota Djuro Vukelic, who was the parish priest at St. Nicholas for 47 years and who with the help of the faithful community built the Church and hall we have today. Father Voja continued in his predecessor\u2019s footsteps and during his service to the St. Nicholas community in Hamilton, which is one of the greatest and most beautiful colonies in North America, earned the rank of archpriest or protojerej, then later to cross-bearing archpriest, or protojerej-stavrofor. The former happened in 2005, at the hand of New Gra\u010danica Bishop Longin, on the occasion of the blessing of our frescoes (a five year project Father Voja initiated). The honour of the right to wear a pectoral cross is given to him, for his diligent and productive efforts in this parish, in 2011 by Bishop of Canada Georgije.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

A PLACE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Holy Church regularly directs us to the heavens, severing our ties to the world and binding us with Christ. This is the role our church in Hamilton plays and continues to fulfill that mission as part of the One, Holy, Universal, and Apostolic Church over the last century. Our faithful Serbs, who settled in this city in distant 1913, founded the parish and altar to the \u201cLiving God\u201d where to this day we present our bloodless sacrifice to \u201cHim who is\u201d. Our honorable forefathers couldn\u2019t have imagined how long the Serbs would need a holy place in these parts of Canada, but they knew it was their holy duty to build an altar where they settled, for a place of prayer and refuge. All the following generations, who to this day remain at the head of the church along with the bishops and priests, worked with the same enthusiasm towards maintaining and bettering the church and parish for those exact same reasons. They took care to work towards saving their souls, their union with Christ, as they did to enable future generations to have a place of prayer and a place to help meet the conditions for spiritual growth.<\/span><\/p>\n
