👍👍 We came here for Saturday night praying. On Saturdays it is spoken both in English and Russian. All the praying session took about 2 hours. The cathedral is very neat and nice! I haven’t been in Russian church for years, so I just had a great experience here. Blessings. People often mention church,

    We had a great first visit on Sunday. The church is lovely inside & outside. The service was inpiring. People were friendly and welcoming & we enjoyed the Ukrainian food. They're holding a Christmas Market in the basement of the church on Saturday, November 26 from 10 am to 3 pm. Icons, eggs, ornaments, jewelry, etc. Check it out.

    Beautiful inside. You must visit this jewel of a cathedral on Mass Ave. Just be respectful. Sweet little store in basement. Everyone is kind and don't miss the library in the rectory next door. They hold a yearly bazaar that is educational and tasty. Usually in October.

    While the exterior is exquisite, the cathedral remained locked during the time for access given on the internet. I very disappointed that I could not go inside.

    Good afternoon ! My name is Dmitry, I am 37 years old, I have a daughter of 11 years old, and a wife of 37 years old. Because of the war in Ukraine, I am looking for asylum for myself and my family in the USA. I believe that this country will become my home during the war in Ukraine. I want to ask help from kind and caring people, become my sponsor under the U4U program. If you can be one please contact me. Thank you for your attention !

  • 5/5 Aaron Patrick “El Pato” R. 2 years ago on Google
    It is your standard ephemeral out-of-body, out-of-this-world experience that one gets at any Russian Orthodox parish. Great community and coffee after DL!
