There is a newly-established Pan-Orthodox Christian Mission in Potsdam with a campus ministry outreach.
It is under the OCA Diocese of New York/New Jersey in cooperation with the OCA Archdiocese of Canada and the Monastic Community of St. Silouan, Johnstown, ON. Members of this parish are from all ethnic backgrounds: Greek, Russian, Albanian, Ukranian, Serbian, Eritrean and just plain American. Services are primarily in English and the musicchanted is from both the Byzantine and Russian traditions. The community is a mix of students, post-doctoral researchers and familes; of cradle-orthodox and converts to the Faith. The priests, Fr. David Edwards and Fr. Luke Majoros (when Fr. David is unavailable), are both hieromonks from the Monastic Community of St. Silouan. Parishioners frequently worship at St. Silouan’s on weeks when there are no services in Potsdam. The aim is to serve people who until now had to cross the Canadian border or travel 70 miles to the nearest parish on the U.S. side. Services are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month on the campus or, when space is not available, in a private chapel.
There will be worship services on the first and third Sunday of each month beginning Feb. 5. Parking is available in lots 17 and 25. All are welcome to experience this ancient yet contemporary Christian form of worship.

Honorary Leader of the Pilgrimage: His Grace Michael (Dahulich), Bishop of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey.
The proposed trip is an Orthodox Christian pilgrimage and educational tour. We combine visits to sites of religious significance with stops at places of historical and archaeological importance. The tour will be of interest to all who have an interest in the Early Church, Monasticism and the Ancient Middle East.
While this religious tour is prepared with an Orthodox traveler in mind, anyone interested in Early Church History and in the Antiquities of the Middle East will surely benefit from our voyage. Honorary Leader of the Pilgrimage: His Grace Michael (Dahulich), Bishop of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey.
If you are interested in joining this tour or have any questions, please contact us!

We need volunteers to help us to serve breakfast at the Shelter.
We are a community of Orthodox Christians from all over the Detroit area committed to serving Christ through service to the needy in our city (Mt 25.14).
Our goals are simply to love God and love others (Mt 22.37-40). Recognizing the image of God in every person (Gn 1.27), we will always strive to serve with humilty, compassion, patience, and above all, love (1Co 13).
Our purpose is to extend the Church beyond the confines of the parish and bring it into the local community. We will do this by bringing Detroit-area Orthodox Christians together to perform the work to which Christ called his Church: to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, to look after the sick and visit the incarcerated, to welcome the stranger, to give everything we have for the benefit of those in need.
Orthodox Detroit Outreach will strive first and foremost to fulfill the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, being faithful to the Apostolic teachings and Living Tradition of the Orthodox Christian Church. We seek to be known by the fruits of our ministry.
We will actively and in an ongoing manner strive to assess the needs of those within the greater Detroit metropolitan area, providing through various ministrations towards the material sustenance and spiritual aid to those in need.
We will serve the churches of our area by providing both local and coordinated ministries aiding those in need, and offering an educational and experiential resource as requested.
Learn how you can be involved…
