Confessions

During Orthros or any time outside of Liturgy:

approach the priest; or by appointment

We believe that worship isn’t an obligation but a privilege, It is our whole life! Each week during Divine Liturgy we get to be where we were made to be, in the kingdom of God. Not metaphorically but in mysticism we are able to join the angels and saints in eternal joy and we want to share our joy with YOU!

We are not Roman Catholics who do some things a little bit differently from the Latin Church. We have our own Identity! We have a distinct, separate theology., tradition, spirituality, liturgy, and canon law – that is not opposed to Roman Catholicism, but complimentary to it . In our tradition we are already in the Kingdom and our edict is not to save ourselves but to grow in divinity.The Melkite mind sees the Church, not as a visible society headed by Christ, but as a Theophany, the eternal breaking into time and unfolding of the divine life through the deifying transformation of humanity in worship.

Whats Melkite? How is it Different?

Our Parish

We are a family, not bonded by our own blood but, by The Blood of Christ. We see ourselves as the family of God! The Melkite Church is that Community of the Holy Spirit, where new relationships are built, a new way of sharing, celebrating, thinking, relating, etc. God is love plain and simple and we live that out by loving each other loving Him.

“Children, I beseech you to correct your hearts and thoughts, so that you may be pleasing to God.”

— St. Nicholas the Wonderworker., Our Patron
