Église orthodoxe russe Notre-Dame-de-Kazan

Rawdon has two parishes of the Russian Orthodox faith. One is located around Saint Seraphim Church, on 15th th Avenue, and the other, around Our Lady of Kazan Chapel, on Sunshine Street. Each church features the traditional Byzantine onion dome that identifies the religious and ethnic character in a picturesque and pleasant way.

The first Our Lady of Kazan Chapel, built of logs in 1962, was destroyed by fire. The present one was built in 1978.
