Parish Background
The Church of SS Peter and Paul was established as an Orthodox parish in 1987. On November 16, 1996 the church became a missionary parish of the Orthodox Church in America. All of our services are conducted in English.
Our bookstore, Wisdom Books, has been in business since 1984. It has a large and varied collection of icons and spiritual books. We also carry many enlightening books for young children.
We are aware that iconography is of great interest to the public at this time. We take the goods from the store to the public to expose people to Orthodoxy. We have a booth every September at the Bethel Arts Festival, titled “The Icon As An Art Form”. In June, we sell books, icons, and gifts at “The Greek Experience” in Danbury.
We invite you to come visit with us, SS Peter and Paul Mission.
