Dear Brothers and Sisters, Welcome!
Our site features articles in Russian and English on the Holy Orthodox Faith along with audio and video presentations, chronicling the life of our parish - the only church community in the United States founded in 1949 by St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco. All of the original articles and most videos on this site are property of our parish and may be freely used to the glory of God with permission.
At the end of the fifth week of Great Lent we are given great comfort and encouragement by the Most Holy Theotokos in the service to her called the Laudation of the Mother of God.
At the Matins Service, which is held on Friday evening, we read the Akathist Hymn to the Mother of God, composed in 626 to commemorate the deliverance of Constantinople from the attack by the Scythes.
