Holy Saturday and Pascha, April 16, 2023

Dear Parishioners and Friends:
      Christ is Risen! Xpucmoc Bockpece! Hristos a inviat! Christi Unjal! Almasiya Quam!
I want to extend to you blessings during this Bright Week. We had very good attendance at the services during Holy Week averaging around 30. On Pascha morning we set a record. 108 people passed through our doors and around 75 stayed for the whole service.  The basement was full for the agape meal at the end. There were many compliments on how beautiful the church looked with all of the flowers and that the choir was outstanding. Thanks to all who made Pascha a great day!   Fr. T

Welcome to our Parish

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.

For information regarding church matters only please call Fr. Terenti at 518-369-2430. DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER FOR FLEA MARKET QUESTIONS. For flea market inquiries please call 518-867-4102 or email us at: saintnicholasfleamarket@gmail.com.
