Michael Metni and his St. Nicholas church will be forced to suspend its longstanding parade tradition next week, following a ruling that sprouted from a dispute between the borough of Outremont and the local Hasidic community. 7/4/2012 MONTREAL — Eastern Orthodox worshipers celebrate their holiest days of the year next week but parishioners at one Russian Orthodox Church in Outremont won’t be allowed to hold their procession planned for next Saturday night.
