RE: Canada West Deanery
Reverend Father and Members of the Parish Council,
At the Annual Congress of the Episcopate, in the session of September 1, 2017 we announced our intention to re-establish deaneries within the diocesan structure to assist us in the present administration of the Episcopate and to further enhance the missionary, pastoral and educational activities in parishes . As a result, effective February 1, 2018, we have named the new deans.
Thus, we inform you that you are part of the Canada West Deanery, led by Dean Rev. Fr. Nicolae Lapuste and composed of the following 6 parishes , vicariate center and cemeteries:
Holy Trinity Parish, New Westminster, BC Fr . Nicolae Lapuste, dean
Saint Mary Parish, Calgary, AB – Fr . Lucian Constantin
St George Cathedral, Regina, SK – Fr. Cristian Frunzulica
St Nicholas Parish, Regina, SK – Fr Cosmin Vint
Parish Saint George, Winnipeg, MB – Fr. Michael Ungrin
Protection of the Mother of God Churcb/Center, Fort Qu Appelle, SK – Fr Cosmin Vint
St Elias Parish Lennard, MB – Fr. Den. Kenneth Gaber
Saint John the Baptist Parish, Shell Valley, MB – vacant
Saints Peter and Paul Church and Cemetery Flintoft, SK
Holy Trinity Church and Cemetery, McNutt, SK

Each appointed dean is responsible for the parishes within his deanery, as mentioned in the By-Laws of the Episcopate in Article V, plus the additional responsibilities received from the Archbishop, for the good order of pastoral life and parish administration.
We urge you, paternally, to fully cooperate with your dean. We ask cooperation in regional activities, especially for youth ministry, and in the mission of the Orthodox Church in the society in which we live, with special attention for the pastoral care of the faithful. We are responsible, as we have stated at the Congress, to make known that Christ is our God and Savior who came for the life and salvation of the world.
With hierarchal blessings,
+ NATHANIEL , Archbishop

Ca urmare, incepand cu data 1 februarie 2018, am numit noii protopopi .
Va facem cunoscut ca sunteti parte din Protopopiatul Canada Vest, condus de Pr. Protopop Nicolae Lapuste, si care este compus din urmatoarele 6 parohii, Centrul Ft. Qu Appelle, cimitirele dependente:
Parohia Sfanta Treime, New Westminster, BC – Pr . Nicolae Lapuste, protopop

Fiecare protopop numit este responsabil pentru parohiile din protopopiatul sau asa cum este evidentiat in Statutele Episcopiei in Articolul V plus alte responsabilitati primite de la Arhiepiscop, spre buna desfasurare a vietii pastorale si a administratiei parohiale.
Va indemnam, in duh parintesc, la deplina cooperare cu parintele protopop. Asteptam conlucrare in activitati regionale, in special, pentru tineret si pentru intensificarea misiunii Bisericii Ortodoxe in societatea in care traim, cu grija atenta deopotriva pentru cei pastoriti. Suntem responsabili asa cum, aminteam la Congres, de a face cunoscut lumii acesteia ca Hristos este Dumnezeul si Mantuitorul nostru, care a venit pentru viata si mantuirea lumii.
Cu arhieresti binecuvantari,
+ NATHANIEL, Arhiepiscop
