Windsor’s Serbian Orthodox parish celebrated its patron saint, St. Demetrius, on November 8 with a liturgy, performances by young members of the community and recognition for people who have contributed to parish life.
Metropolitan Mitrofan led the liturgy. Parishioners then took part in a procession and gathered for a communal lunch. The program featured performances by the parish choir, students and a folk dance group.
The annual feast, known in Serbian as slava, brings parishioners together to honor their church’s patron saint. In Windsor, it also gave children and young people a chance to take part through music and dance.
The parish used the occasion to recognize members for their service to the community. Canadian Srbobran reported on the celebration, which the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Canada also covered.
