Welcome to the parish web site of St. Nicholas Cathedral. St. Nicholas is the primatial Cathedral of the Orthodox Church in America.

Here are some recent events which took place at St. Nicholas Cathedral:

Congratulations to our newly elected Parish President, Claire Nobles!
We also congratulate our new members of the Parish Council: Nino Burjanadze-Willsea, Paul Moser, Sharon Osmolovsky, Elena Ponomarenko, and alternates to the Council: Paul Grenier and Peter Vlasov. God’s blessings and guidance in their service to the Church!
We thank our former Parish President, Barbara Rhenish and Parish Council Members, Ann Alaoglu, Bill Corcoran, Marilyn Swezey whose term ended this year for the work accomplished during their service on the Council.
         You may watch a short video of last Sunday's installment of the new President and new Parish Council Members.

Metropolitan Tikhon greeted the Estonian Ambassador to the U.S. at English Liturgy and a church sponsored lunch that followed in our social hall.
            Metropolitan Tikhon and St. Nicholas priests were welcomed at the Belorussian and Ukrainian Embassies.
            Our choir sang for three beautiful weddings and our priests celebrated several baptisms. Wedding 1; Wedding 2
            On the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend prayers were said during Liturgy for fallen Orthodox soldiers and our Veterans' Guild hosted a generous breakfast following the service.
            Our Sunday School classes packed numerous bags of non-perishable food for a charity which distributes them to children of poor families who need nourishment during the weekends because their only meals are taken at school on weekdays.
St. Nicholas parishioners have reason to be gratified by their support and cooperation which makes such events a success.

Clergy are in the office on a daily basis during normal business hours and available for talk, confession, pastoral counseling, spiritual care, individual prayer, moleben and panikhida, as well as for meetings and tours of the Cathedral.
