Welcome to St Nicholas Orthodox Church! We hope you will enjoy your visit. We are a parish of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), serving Christ in the Cohoes and Greater Albany Capital Region. Our liturgical services are primarily in English with small sections in Church Slavonic, Romanian, Greek or Arabic depending on the needs of the congregation at that time.
Our parish has an average of 35 people for a Sunday Liturgy with an outreach of over 100 who come to our church at some point in the church year. Our church is mainly composed of second and third generation people with origins from Lemkovyna (a region now part of Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia).
Recently, our church has become the spiritual home of a smattering of immigrants from Romania, Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Russia and our own community here in America. Our mission is to expand our Christian family by embracing all people who want to share a life in Christ and to be the home for people of all backgrounds.

St. Nicholas Church had a full week of services, from Lazarus Saturday to Pascha. Most services were well attended. 67 faithful came on Pascha. Having services begin at 8:00am on Pascha allowed people to come enjoy the long services without falling asleep and being extremely tired. After the services all broke the fast with a sumptuous feast! Christ is Risen!

We began Holy Week with the Liturgy of Lazarus Saturday with our friend Fr. Paul Federoff who served with Fr. Terenti. Several parishioners joined in to bundle palms and pussy willows after the service. On Sunday for Palm Sunday, our church was filled with palms and pussy willows and we had over 45 people who came to General Confession and more attended the Divine Liturgy.
