We joyfully encourage all to come and worship with us at the Divine Liturgy on Saturdays at 4:00pm (all English) or Sundays at 8:30AM (all English) or 11:00AM (English and Church Slavonic) until Memorial Day. Summer hours will only affect the 11 which will then be held at 10:30.

We hope you find our worship true and reverent and our people here friendly and cordial. If you are seeking a spiritual home, we would be honored by your presence in our family. For more information about becoming a parishioner, please see me or Deacon Alex. Please join us for coffee and donuts in the Fellowship Hall following the Sunday Divine Liturgies.
