Parish Life Heading into Pentecost

The parish family of St. Athanasius Orthodox Church welcomes you to our church! We are so grateful that, from June 11th on, we are able to welcome everyone without any Covid restrictions whatsoever. Here is our archbishop’s common-sense letter blessing us to move forward normally with parish life, but with love and care for all. You can explore our full online church calendar here.
