Thanksgiving Liturgy 2023

Today 15 people came together to give thanks by celebrating Thanksgiving… Even though it’s not on the liturgical calendar, it makes sense for us to come together and give thanks for this great nation, and that the experiment of sovereignty and democracy continues in this great land.

Flea Market/Craft Fair September 16, 2023

What a great time we had getting our Flea Market/Craft Fair ready for September 16, 2023.  A lot of hard work went into it but it was worth it because it was a SUCCESS.  We heard great comments from our vendors about the layout, considering all the rain we had and the grounds not being easy to work with.  We sure hope they were successful too and will see them back at our next date when chosen.  THANK YOU TO EVERYONE...  One last comment, once again our photographer did not get in any of these photos.....  Won't happen again haha....

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.
