Parish Background
Almost sixty years ago, in 1961, Russian-American retirees who had settled in Ft Lauderdale wanted a parish of their own. They took out personal loans and second mortgages to insure that their dream would become a reality. Today the parish is a growing community of young and elder, 2nd and 3rd generation American born and new emigres. St Nicholas is home to families primarily of Slavic orgin (Russian, Carpatho-Russian, Macedonian, Serbian, Bulgarian).
The young and enthusiastic parishioners, looking to the future, have undertaken a large renovation project. They have given of money, time and talent in respect for the founders and in building on their dreams of a vibrant parish: to ensure that the St Nicholas community will have a long future glorifying God, remembering our ancenstry and witnessing to Orthodoxy in South Florida.
Because of the growth of the parish, extensive renovations have been undertaken. These include the church itself, the hall, former rectory, and outside property. It has taken six years to finally receive the approval of the city and get permits in hand. During this time, construction costs have sky-rocketed. We gladly accept donations for this project, which can be mailed to the church address.
