Tradition is a way of life bringing people together, not only in place, but also in time.

Every living creature, great or small, expresses it’s unique beingness. It is a mystery to express oneself. It can relieve one from depression and enable communion with another being. Even greater a mystery it is, when many express themselves in unison. Music is a powerful tool for expressing oneself, and becomes majestically beautiful when used as an expression to the Creator. When people chant together, they are connecting not with those around them, but also with those of previous generations who partook in the handing down of this sacred tradition.

Traditionally, in the Church the instruction of inquirers was not solely the responsibility of the priest, but rather of everyone. This is why we have the need to learn more of our faith so that we may give a good answer to those who ask a question  of us. You may learn more at:

Whether you have been here lately or not, we need to mention the need for everyone to step up their stewardship to the Church. Our church has suffered a drop in income for several months. And, we have regular recurring bills to pay, even as we move forward to expand the Nave of the Church.

We invite anyone who would like to help with the church stewardship and outreach to contact Father. We need your help!

We now have a good collection of Orthodox books, Icons, crosses, incense, etc. in the Bookstore.

Making your purchases at the Bookstore helps to support your Church.

In your prayers, please remember:

Come and See!

Remember, the Livestream of Services serves a valid purpose for those who are not able to come.  However, Facebook Livestream does not take the place of a 'Face to face' encounter with Christ in the Divine Services!

The Church of the East (and by this we mean Orthodox) has not 'institutionalized' (as the Latin West has) the imperative of 'obligation' to attend Divine Services.  None the less, the need is one and the same... without a regular participation in the Liturgical life of the Services, we stand bereft of the Grace imparted through these, the Divine Services.

Come and see! What we see, we imbibe. What we imbibe, we take in. What we 'take in'... (in the Divine Services) has the potential to impart Eternal Life!

What a pleasure it is to worship with you today, here at this precious Chapel of the Three Hierarchs. This wonderful Byzantine Church helps to form the core of the Center for Hellenic Studies Paideia here at the University of Connecticut.
