About This Cause
Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church is an Orthodox church parish in Kitchener, Ontario with regular church services all Sundays, all holidays and many weekday mornings or evenings as observed on the Julian calendar. The church is home to a vibrant and growing Serbian community, who's roots and founding of the church community date back to 1972. Officially registered in 1983, the church construction finished in 1987 with traditional frescoes completing the church from 2001 to 2009. The church community is made up of dedicated clergy, a volunteer board of directors and circle of sisters who work to provide opportunities for the continual thriving of Serbian heritage, language and arts programs. In addition to these functions, many volunteers in the community work to maintain property and programs offered. A primary goal of the church community is to instill a confidence and pride in the youth, to have them blossom into well rounded people in Canada knowledgeable of their roots. A traditional dance group has existed since the church was founded, providing youth with an opportunity to learn, practice and master Serbian dance technique and showcase their culture to communities and other heritages at various festivals across KW, Ontario and beyond. A Serbian language school has brought Serbian youth and those with Serbian roots together to master the Serbian language and for some to learn it for the first time. Our community members have since 2010 organized a cultural festival of our own each summer to invite the neighborhood to our community, the Serbian Food Festival.
