Saints Peter and Paul Serbian Orthodox Church () is an Eastern Orthodox church located in the neighbourhood of The Donovan in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It is under jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Canada of the Serbian Orthodox Church and is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.
History The church was built from 1963 to 1964, when about 500 Serbian families lived in Sudbury, many of whom worked in the Sudbury mines. The consecration of the church was performed by Bishop Dionisije on June 27, 1964. The church was under the jurisdiction of the Free Serbian Orthodox Church until 1992, when the reconciliation process began. Formal unification took place on May 21, 2009, when, by decision of the Holy Council of Bishops, all parishes in Canada were transferred under the omophorion of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Canada.
The number of Serbian families in Sudbury who attend the parish has dropped to about 50 as many have moved to Toronto and Chicago where there are larger Serbian communities. The church also used to own and operate the Serbian Hall on 231 Bloor Street which is now the Berean Baptist Church.
