St. Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church:

Come and see!!!

 

Glory to Jesus Christ!  Glory Forever!

St. Michael's is a parish of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, which is under the omiphorion of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.


We are a unique community, dedicated to serving God and proclaiming the Good News through the ancient Traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church.  We celebrate and preserve our Faith as it has been passed to us by God through our ancestral homeland Rus'- Ukraine, and we share it with all who would come to know and grow in Christ through the teaching and Mysteries of His Church.

Troparion of St. Michael and the Bodiless Hosts (Tone 4)


Supreme Commanders of the Heavenly Armies,


We, the unworthy, ever entreat that you


Surround us with the protection of the wings of your immaterial glory through your prayers. 


Preserve us who earnestly fall down before you and cry aloud: 


Deliver us from misfortune for you are the leaders of the Hosts on High.


If you are looking for a church home, or would like to learn more about (and experience)  the salvific liturgical and sacramental life of the Holy Orthodox Church: COME AND SEE!!!
