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!
The construction of our church is complete! Our focus is now on the beautification of our church.
Thank you for your prayers & support!

Sunday of the Blind Man from "The Orthodox Faith" by Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko
— commemorated on May 17th
The sixth Sunday after Easter commemorates the healing of the man blind from birth (Jn 9). We are identified with that man who came to see and to believe in Jesus as the Son of God. The Lord has anointed our eyes with his own divine hands and washed them with the waters of our baptism (Jn 9.6–11). Jesus used clay of spittle and told the man to wash in the waters of Siloam. He did so because it was the Sabbath day on which spitting, clay-making and washing were strictly forbidden. By breaking these ritual laws of the Jews, Jesus showed that He is indeed the Lord of the Sabbath, and, as such, that He is equal to God the Father Who alone, according to Jewish tradition, works on the Sabbath day in running His world. There is scandal over the healing of the blind man on the Sabbath day. He is separated from the synagogue because of his faith in Christ. The entire Church follows this man in his fate, knowing that it is those who do not see Jesus as the Lord who are really blind and still in their sins (Jn 9.41). The others have the light of life and can see and know the Son of God, for “you have seen Him, and it is He who speaks to you” (Jn 9.37).
KONTAKION — I come to You, O Christ, blind from birth in my spiritual eyes and I call to You in repentance: You are the most radiant light of those in darkness!
