Services and upcoming events
Welcome to the Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross
Here are some features of our liturgical life that we hope will help you understand what the Orthodox Church offers in its worship and spiritual life, and how you can participate more comfortably.
1) JESUS – REVEALED IN THE SCRIPTURES AND IN THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD: In entering our church you passed under the iconographic description of the encounter Jesus had after His resurrection with his disciples on the “Way to Emmaus” (Luke 24:13-35). Everything we have to offer you is summarized in this encounter: It is all about Jesus, revealed in the Scriptures, in the breaking of the bread, and how this experience is shared with one another “on the way,” the path of life.

The Liturgical and Educational Opportunities of the New Liturgical Year
This year our Catechetical Program is focused on the Creed and the mage that we’ll be keeping in mind is the establishment of a “life-giving” foundation, thinking about the Trinity Church in Vincentown, shown above.
