Welcome to All Saints of North America Church!
Welcome Visitors!
May God bless you and direct your steps in discovering the Ancient Christian Church. We look forward to seeing you in our midst soon! The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago.
COME AND SEE!
While all our services are in English and most of our parishioners are American converts to Orthodoxy, we do have parishioners from other countries that speak other languages and others that can speak in sign language if you are hearing impaired!
These parishioners are available to assist you!
We would be pleased to receive your tax-deductible donation.
GLORY TO GOD!
Our hand-carved Iconostasis and Icons from Bulgaria are in the assembly process.
Thank you for your prayers & support!

Afterfeast of the Dormition of the Theotokos
— commemorated on August 16th
TROPARION — In giving birth you preserved your virginity, in falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. You were translated to life, O Mother of Life, / and by your prayers, you deliver our souls from death.
KONTAKION — Neither the tomb, nor death could hold the Theotokos, who is constant in prayer and our firm hope in her intercessions. For being the Mother of Life, she was translated to life by the One who dwelt in her virginal womb.
The death of the Theotokos was also life-bearing, translating her into a celestial and immortal life … Its commemoration not merely renews the memory of the wondrous deeds of the Mother of God, but also adds thereto the strange gathering at her all-sacred burial of all the sacred apostles conveyed from every nation … Receptacle of great graces … she only is the frontier between created and uncreated nature, and there is no man that shall come to God except he be truly illumined through her … It was through the Theotokos alone that the Lord came to us. —St. Gregory Palamas, Homily on the Dormition
