Our Parish Ministries

We welcome you to learn about and consider joining some of our parish ministries. There are many great ways to get involved.

Parish Council

President: Nancy Kerestus
Phone: 570-778-2664
Email: 

The Parish Council is composed of faithful men and women who are dedicated Orthodox Christians and who sacrifice their time, talents, and resources for the Church. We represent the parish, as clergy and laity together, and seek to fulfill the mission ascribed to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Learn More »

Altar Servers

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, altar servers assist the higher clergy during services. They might carry the cross, candles or liturgical fans in processions and entrances. Learn More »

Adult Education/Bible Study

Join us on alternating Sundays at 11:30 am (see our calendar for exact dates) for a fun and interesting Discussion of the Orthodox Faith and Holy Scripture. We are currently studying the Divine Liturgy using the book, "Let us Attend" by Father Lawrence Farley. The book is available in print and e-book format on Amazon.

Sunday School

Director: Susan Bortnick
Email: 

The Church School program fosters spiritual learning through age-appropriate lessons, which may include an introduction to church feasts, fasts and liturgical practices, prayers, Bible stories, crafts and projects, and liturgical songs. 

Music Ministries

Cantors: Irene Hudock and Richard Hallahan.

Music plays an integral role in the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church.  Come experience the beautiful traditional congregational singing of Carpatho-Rusyn Plain Chant. Our talented cantors lead us in singing our praises to God! 

Youth Ministry

We believe that the Goal of Orthodox Christian Youth Ministry is the integration of each young person fully into the total life of the Church. We believe that Orthodox Christians must commit themselves to living the Orthodox Faith daily. Worship, Witness, Service, and Fellowship are the natural expressions of that commitment.
