Who we are
The Assumption of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Church is a small and quaint little church located in Lethbridge, Alberta. It sits quietly nestled in-between two houses in a residential area of the city.
Yet that is not where this Russian Greek Orthodox Church originally started. Years ago, the congregants of Assumption of the Holy Virgin met in the tiny, rented back room of Top’s Pizza restaurant. When the Reverend Aggey Mazur(1885-1970) came from Calgary to establish a church he brought with him the idea of having an actual church to worship in.
In 1965, the parishioners canvased and raised enough money to purchase a Baptist Church and convert it into the Orthodox Church that we worship in today. Our current Priest, Father Anton Ciobanu has been with us since 2012.

Let no darkness overtake me
Visit, I beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation with thy mercy, and me with thy grace and salvation. Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
