BEGINNINGS... In 1978 a small group of dedicated and courageous people decided to establish a Serbian Orthodox Church in South Florida. After received blessing and permission from the then Bishop +CHRISTOPHER, a mission parish was formed.
In 1979, after much searching, a small home with ample property was purchased, and the following year a 20' x 40' structure was added. The mortgage on this property was paid in 1986.
Realizing that our current facility had served its purpose, it was decided to purchase the adjoining lot. As a result, we are now in the final stages of completion of a new Curch/hall and look forward to consecration in the fall.
We are most grateful to the founders, past board members, clergy and especially to all parishioners who have helped and supported in realizing the dream of those founders who are not with us today.

BEGINNINGS... The St. Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church of Lackawanna, NY was founded in 1916 Orthodox Serbian immigrants from what was then Austria-Hungary who arrived in America at the beginning of the 20th century.

Over the years Serbian community has become quite diverse, and during the late 90¹s received over 100 refugee families from the former Yugoslavia. The liturgical languages in order of predominance are English, modern Serbian and Church Slavonic.
The mission of our church community is to bear witness to the Kingdom of God as transmitted through Sacred Scripture, the Apostles, the Ecumenical Councils and the Holy Fathers of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God; worship and glorify the Lord God in the Holy Trinity acording to the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church...and to be a spiritual home for all those who choose to dwell therein.

HOLY RESURRECTION
SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

V. Rev. Stavr. Rade Merick

BEGINNINGS... Holy Resurrection Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church was founded in Mingo Junction, Ohio in 1906 by Serbian Orthodox Christians who began to arrive in the Upper Ohio Valley in the 1890's. These immigrants felt a deep need for a place to worship Christ as they were accustomed, in a language they understood. They formed a congregation and purchased a church building in Mingo Junction. They adapted this building for Orthodox worship and it was consecrated in honor of the Resurrection of Christ with great joy in November of that year. The first priest of the parish was Rev. Fr. Sava Vojvodich.
In 1941 the old church was sold. Employment and housing patterns had changed, and Steubenville became a more central location for parishioners to attend church. Several lots were obtained on the southeast corner of North Fourth and Clinton Streets, and a former funeral home on the property was used as a parish home and chapel until World War II ended. With the end of the war plans progressed for the building of a new church. A design was settled on which evoked memories of a famous medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery called Visoki Decani in Kosovo and construction began in 1947. The white Indiana limestone structure was dedicated on June 6, 1948. Serving at the consecration was the great exiled Bishop of Zica, Dr. Nicholai (Velimirovich), who was glorified as a saint of the Orthodox Church in 2003.
In 1949 over 20 acres were purchased in neighboring Weirton, West Virginia to be developed for picnics. The Serbian Orthodox Picnic Grounds on King's Creek is now recognized as the finest facility of its type in the area.
In 1957 a new parish home and church kitchen facility was built next to the church, and in 1967 the Church's Steubenville facilities were completed with the building of a spacious two-story structure to house the church school classes, offices and a parish library.
Over 6 acres was purchased on Colliers Way in neighboring Weirton in 1987, near the Weirton Medical Center and ground was broken in 1996 for the $2 million Serbian-American Cultural Center. The Center includes an elegant ballroom for banquets and receptions, a large, attractive multi-purpose room for banquets, sports and other events. A lounge and other amenities can accommodate anything from small groups to over 1,000 people in the two main rooms, and has become the area's premier facility for meetings, receptions, shows and fine dining. One of its goals is to present the history and culture of the Serbian Orthodox people to the greater community.
Today Holy Resurrection Church serves about 300 families. Most parishioners are concentrated in Steubenville, Wintersville and Mingo Junction, Ohio and in nearby Weirton, West Virginia, but a good percentage of the parish resides throughout the tri-state area.
Parish organizations include two women's service groups (Sveta Petka Kolo of Steubenville-Mingo Junction and Vidovdan Kolo of Weirton), the Serbian Orthodox Men's Club, the 4 C-er's parents' group dedicated to helping the church school, the accomplished and widely-traveled Petar Krstich church choir long under the musical direction Slobodan Zelich, a junior choir, the Holy Resurrection Tamburitzans who perpetuate Serbian music and dance, a youth group, and an educational program for children and adults. The congregation also attempts to put its Christian faith into practice through humanitarian activities both locally and globally.

V. Rev. Stevan Rocknage

BEGINNINGS... The Church of "St. Sava" is the first Serbian house of prayer built in the eastern United States. In 1900 the Serbian colony along with the Russians of McKeesport decided to buy a church building which could be transformed into an Orthodox Church. Father Vladimir Kalnev, a Russian Orthodox priest was elected as the first parish priest. Father Illja Komadina was sent and he took the position of the first Serbian Orthodox parish priest in 1902 and remained until his death in May, 1904.
As we enter the 21st Century, our parish continues to thrive and prosper under the leadership of our Fr. Stevan Rocknage ("Fr. Stevo"). Our parish is slowly growing and reaching out to the non-Orthodox in our communities. Our membership lists 280 families, 65 in our Church-school, with a number of infants and toddlers to make the future bright! As the Holy Spirit leads Fr. Stevo and us, we are renewed with a sense of purpose and re-dedication to those ideals that our forefathers brought from their native land to America: love of God, sacrifice for the good of one another, and freedom to live in peace.

BEGINNINGS... The history of the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church of Monroeville PA begins Fall, 1904. A group of pioneers met in a home of Theodore Uzelac on Watkins Avenue in Wilmerding.

The church was consecrated on May 22, 1905 by Holy Archbishop Tikhon of New York (Russian Orthodox Church). A two story auditorium was built in 1948 with Holy Bishop Nikolaj of Zhicha officiating the blessing of the corner stone. In the 1950's the upper auditorium was converted in the house of worship and the original church was used for classrooms. Thus the parish was twice blessed by Holy men St Tikhon and Holy Nikolaj. The present church, church hall and the parish house were built in 1971. In 2005 the parish will celebrate its 100th anniversary.

BEGINNINGS... A group of Serbs got together October 8, 1905, to organize a church, and on January 13, 1906, the St. George Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church was incorporated. A house at 123 South 25th Street was converted into the first Serbian Orthodox Church in Pittsburgh. A group of Serbs decided to form their own parish separate from St. George Serbian Orthodox Church. They incorporated on August 4, 1935, and the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church came into being. On December 4, 1961, unity was finally achieved with the incorporation of the two churches into one Serbian Orthodox Church-School Congregation of Pittsburgh PA. On October 5, 1962, the amended decree was signed proclaiming that the name would be "Holy Trinity Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church-School Congregation of Pittsburgh, Pennylvania."
