Those who cannot make it to New York City [for the celebration] are asked to serve either a Divine Liturgy or Thanksgiving moleben on May 17th. God-willing, I will be in Moscow at that time, celebrating the fifth anniversary with His Holiness, Patriarch Kyrill. Please accept my most sincere congratulations on this joyous fifth anniversary. May the Lord continue to bestow His rich and abundant mercies on our Holy Church and Her faithful.
With love in Christ,
HILARION

Orthodox Christianity: Founded 33 AD

Two thousand years ago, after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the apostles of Christ went out from their native Israel to bring the Christian Faith to all the far reaches of the world. The ancient Christian Faith, founded so long ago, remains unchanged today and is found in the Orthodox Church. Holy Apostles Orthodox Church was founded with the purpose of bringing the Gospel and Divine Services of the Russian Orthodox Church to the people of America in the English language. We invite you to come to any of the Divine Services or events at our mission church.

Come and See.
