Welcome to Holy Lady of Vladimir Mission Station
Holy Lady of Vladimir Mission Station began in St. John's, NL on 03 September 2003. It began largely as a community of faithful Russian Orthodox who wished to participate fully in the Orthodox faith within their newly adopted Canadian home. Since then the mission has grown to a congregation of over 20 families of Slavic, Greek, other traditional Orthodox backgrounds, and westerners living in St. John's.
Services are conducted mostly in English and Slavonic, but Romanian and Greek are also used depending on the make up of faithful attending each service
The Holy Lady of Vladimir Mission Station is faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations." This does not mean proselytising, but rather making the facts of the Orthodox faith available to as many people as possible, and offering Orthodox Christians a place to worship and a means to express their faith. The Mission Station offers the fundamental rituals of the Orthodox Church - the sacraments of baptism, confirmation (chrismation), eucharist, marriage, annointing, and commemoration of the departed to residents of St. John's.

The choir sings the triumphal hymn in Slavonic and English.
Our tiny outpost of Orthodoxy on the far eastern tip of North America welcomes Orthodox of all ethnic backgrounds living in , or travelling through, St. John's to worship with us. Individuals of all faiths are also welcome to experience Christianity, as practiced by the apostles. Worship services are held at the Chapel on the Second Floor of Queen's College, Memorial University. It is located at 210 Prince Philip Drive in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
