In a world torn apart, that nun—Mother Maria Skobtsova—remained to her final moments a rock of truth and a well-spring of peace, preaching the Gospel with her pen, her paintbrush, her love of the poor, and her martyrdom at the hands of the Nazis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/1611171635662-3Y44XZEABAOW245X748T/mothermarisketch.jpg The story of St Maria of Paris and why we chose her as our patron. - Ever Ancient - Ever New In St Maria we see a remarkable example of a Christian life, combining profound devotion to the work of prayer and contemplation with an active life following Christ’s command to feed the hungry and the clothe the naked, for as we do unto the least of His children, we do unto Him. St Maria’s writings and life brought remarkable vibrancy to our Holy Tradition, without change or revision to the teachings of the Holy Church, and in this we seek to emulate her each day as individuals and as a community. https://stmariahamilton.ca/get-connected daily 0.75 2026-05-12 https://stmariahamilton.ca/donate daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://stmariahamilton.ca/servicetexts daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://stmariahamilton.ca/prayerlist daily 0.75 2026-06-04 https://stmariahamilton.ca/our-community daily 0.75 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/2d7f5287-2e87-4c94-9781-323229098585/Group+SMOP.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/d428c60c-ba1a-4d23-be46-4a5a1fefbcce/Bishop.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Archbishop Irenee presiding at Divine Liturgy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/ee10536e-503f-4553-b8a9-3c33b9a4abc6/As+Many.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out The Newly-Illumined are led by Fr Yuri https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/bcd86768-a381-4947-b564-0b68c1dfcb88/Water+Blessing+2.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out The community gathered in prayer by the lake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/3316c6f4-b34c-42d2-b9a4-85bdecd64d32/St+Nick+Sermon.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Fr Yuri speaking with the kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/64e51484-df8a-437f-bddd-db74c0a9421c/Jared+Nolan+.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Fr Yuri blessing Nolan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/5f18c6af-9985-4a98-895d-20f900f8cff9/Sunday+Liturgy+%28Aug+21%29.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Just a regular Sunday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/978b6519-265e-4c51-9eb9-70f585e90bab/Procession.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out The reading of the Gospel during the Festal Procession. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/f6ef5423-70ea-4250-83c3-ed67d6114544/Vespers.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Vespers in Erica’s backyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/b1c3c29c-ed82-4ebd-9a24-9ecdfa18d789/Nikyla+Laughing+Baby+Shower.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Everyone enjoying a game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/f4639395-c640-4f29-ad89-632b57c4fc87/Churching+of+Ludwigs.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Fr Yuri prays for Julie and Elliot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/08fdd90f-7300-4670-b121-891c8595e100/Julie+Baby+SHower.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Friends gathered around good food and games. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/7fbc7d9c-68f9-4c94-8d9f-b5613258a43f/Dismissal+Zenaida.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Zenaida’s parents and godparents receive a blessing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/9c461a8d-0de3-40e3-b145-567bc4853ec9/justin+jo.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out Fr Yuri performing the Ablution https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6007972a18739e1ddbd54dbb/f66d0340-5001-4a09-859f-12fce398eee1/Blessing+of+water.jpg Our Community - Make it stand out The community gathered in prayer by the lake https://stmariahamilton.ca/matins-paschal-season daily 0.75 2025-04-11 https://stmariahamilton.ca/joining-our-church daily 0.75 2025-03-11 https://stmariahamilton.ca/first-time-visitor daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://stmariahamilton.ca/faqs daily 0.75 2024-06-04 https://stmariahamilton.ca/preparing-for-illumination daily 0.75 2024-06-06 https://stmariahamilton.ca/matins-june daily 0.75 2024-06-24 https://stmariahamilton.ca/roster daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://stmariahamilton.ca/pledge-drive daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://stmariahamilton.ca/sixth-hour daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://stmariahamilton.ca/daily-matins daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://stmariahamilton.ca/matins-lent daily 0.75 2026-03-16
