Parish Background

The parish mission, founded in 2005, is the inspiration of a handful of families who wanted an English Language parish that is focused on outreach and new converts to the Orthodox Church.  Located in the backyard of Arizona State University, Tempe Arizona, outreach includes support of the local OCF and activities on and around the University.  Membership has tripled by God’s grace as we close out our fifth year.
