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

Inside you will find a site under development for the spread of God's word through his Holy Orthodox Church. St. Nicholas Cathedral is a fine example of the encompassing nature of Orthodoxy. Founded as The Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, it has one of the most diverse groups of the faithful in the OCA. We are proud of our heritage and the growth in worshipers over the years.

As you will see this site is not only about Orthodox Christianity but the people who make up St. Nicholas Cathedral. Our faith and success depends on people, both clergy and parishioners. Here you will find information about our services, activities and history. Parishioners will find a calendar of events, information on Orthodoxy and more to expand their relationship with the parish. The site is translated into Russian. There will always be updates and new features added so please visit often.

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.
