Parish Focus
The patron saint of our parish is
St. Nicholas of South Canaan, Bishop of Zhicha, a man of whom it was said that he, in his earthly life,
"had seen the face
of God". In our patronal icon, St. Nicholas holds in his hand a
scroll which reads,
"No man can know the true God except through the risen Lord Jesus.
Neither can any man know true man except through Him alone."
This statement
summarizes the focus of our parish -- to "know" what it means to be "true man" in the light of our Creator's love, and to enter into communion with Him through
the liturgical, ascetical, and interior life of our Orthodox Faith.
The Orthodox Church is the historical Church,
which was founded on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem and spread throughout
Judea and finally the world. At St. Nicholas of South Canaan, as in all Orthodox churches,
we celebrate the great truths of the Christian Faith in our services.
