With the glorious seasons of Pascha, Pentecost (Holy Trinity,) and the Apostles’ Fast behind us, we now enter July, which is one of the quietest months of the year, liturgically. Yet it is in these “normal days” of the post-Pentecost period that the real measure of our spiritual life unfolds. To that end, our parish family invites you to visit St. Athanasius this summer. We have parishioners from across 10 Kentucky counties, including Lexington-Fayette and beyond! You can learn more about making an in-person visit to St. Athanasius here. You can also take a peek inside our church by checking our our parish YouTube channel. Check out our “hard copy” July 2026 calendar below and remember that our google calendar is here (and you can import it into your own calendars if you wish.) As is typical in traditional Orthodox Christianity, there are many services each week beyond our Sunday Liturgy–even during this relatively quiet month.

For those in (or close to) Madison County or south of Richmond, we invite you to consider a visit our St. Nina Mission (213 Pauline Drive #5, Berea, KY,) which helps extend the reach of the Orthodox Faith along the I-75 corridor & Wilderness Trail. We are drawing people from Somerset, London, Corbin, and beyond. We are now serving weekly Tuesday & Saturday night services at 630pm plus a monthly Sunday Liturgy. Again, see our mission website for details.

Below is a collection of photos June 2026, showing the full range of liturgical, educational, missional, and social life in our parish. We hope these photos and the depth of our Faith inspire you to visit St. Athanasius Orthodox Church and/or our St. Nina Mission! If you have questions about our calendar or any aspect of our Faith or parish life, please reach out to our associate priest Fr. Giorgi at fr.giorgi@bluegrassorthodox.org.
