“God loves us more than a father, mother, friend, or any else could love, and even more than we are able to love ourselves.”

— St. John Chrysostom

As a Melkite parish, we preserve and worship in the traditional Greek Byzantine way, keeping the history and tradition tied to our faith. Simply put, just as the Lord’s word and scripture stays constant, we too are committed to passing on the tradition of the generations of ancient Christianity that has been passed on to us till this day.

About us

Saint Simeon Stylites Melkite Catholic Church is a parish community located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada led by Father Gerard Abi Saab who played a key role in the founding of the church in 2014. Currently, the parish consists of many families of all backgrounds and cultures. Divine Liturgy is served in English, Arabic, and a hybrid of the two languages, serving the local community as well as the traditional Levantine community. We follow the traditional Byzantine Greek Catholic traditions, preserving the faith as it was brought to us from generations ago.

All are welcome to our parish, from all cultures, from all communities, no matter the differences. We welcome you to attend our Saturday and Sunday Divine Liturgies.

You can find our Divine Liturgy schedule for more information. Please contact the parish secretary for any requests (e.g. blessing of home, baptism, wedding preparation, etc.).

“I will not offer to the Lord my God sacrifices
that have cost me nothing.”

— 2 Samuel 24:24
