Joyous Feast!

Join us tomorrow for Divine Liturgy at 9a or at 10:45a for the second Liturgy in Slavonic as we celebrate the Sunday of All Saints of North America!

On the second Sunday after Pentecost, each local Orthodox Church commemorates all the saints, known and unknown, who have shone forth in its territory. Accordingly, the Orthodox Church in America remembers the saints of North America on this day. Saints of all times, and in every country are seen…

Interested in Learning More About the Orthodox Faith?

A new Catechism Series will begin at St. Nicholas Cathedral on Sunday, June 14, following the 9:00 a.m. Divine Liturgy.

Catechism is more than a class, it is a journey into the life of the Church. Through worship, prayer, fellowship, and study, we learn what it means to follow Christ in the Orthodox Christian tradition.

Led by Fr. David Bozeman, this series will meet every other Sunday throughout the year and will explore a variety of topics related to the foundations of the Orthodox Faith.

Whether you are inquiring about Orthodoxy, preparing to enter the Church, have recently been received into the Church, or simply wish to deepen your understanding of the faith, you are warmly invited to attend.

All are welcome.

Joyous Feast!

We had a wonderful celebration for the great feast of Pentecost presided by His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon, followed by Kneeling Vespers.

During the Liturgy, on behalf of the Holy Synod, His Beatitude elevated Fr David to the rank of Archpriest and awarded Fr Valery the jeweled cross. Axios to both!

Joyous Feast!

In the Church’s annual liturgical cycle, Pentecost is “the last and great day.” It is the celebration by the Church of the coming of the Holy Spirit as the end—the achievement and fulfillment—of the entire history of salvation. For the same reason, however, it is also…
