Through this website, we are pleased to be able to introduce you to that same worship and fellowship as it is expressed in the life of our Parish. If you are a new member of our parish or are considering membership, these web pages will acquaint you with what our parish offers to those who give it support and sustenance; to those who already belong to the church, we hope they will provide you with the assurance that your sacrificial offerings are received with profound respect and are utilized to maximum effectiveness. They will, in any case, enable you to make the informed decisions that are necessary for a meaningful relationship with your church!

As an extension of our "Outreach Ministry", we're pleased to announce that the Divine Liturgy will be broadcast live.  The purpose of this ministry is to provide shut-ins who have Internet access, college students who may not be able to get to an Orthodox Church, or people interested in our precious Christian Orthodox Faith, the opportunity to view our church services. If God forgives us for our sins, why do we need the Sacrament of Confession?”
