Исторические данные
- Год постройки:
- 1916
- История:
- Saint Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Herkimer was founded by Orthodox Christian immigrants from Galicia (Halychyna), a region now part of Poland and Ukraine, and the region of Pidkarpats’ka-Rus’, a region now part of Slovakia and Ukraine. A substantial portion of these two neighboring geographical areas are in the Carpathian Mountains. There were also founding parishioners who immigrated from the Russian Empire. The first service was held in an Episcopal Church in December 1916 by the Presbyter Peter Halkowich, who was appointed the first pastor of the parish by His Beatitude, Metropolitan Platon. The parish was founded under of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Metropolia of America, which later would become the autocephalous Orthodox Church in America (OCA). In 2016, our parish celebrated 100 years of ministry living the Orthodox Faith in Herkimer. This span of time encompassed many joys and heartaches. As the times changed, so did the parish and its members. However, one thing has not changed since the newly arrived immigrants to the Mohawk Valley at the beginning of the 20th century first bore witness—the love, loyalty and belief in Almighty God who has made all things possible for His people persists. Along with honest work and striving to live according to the Lord’s commandments, the parishioners of Saint Peter and Paul Orthodox Church continue to move forward while preserving the ancient Faith handed down from the Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples, who then passed on the Faith to us. Our parish has changed over time. As we remember and preserve our heritage, we are not confined to serve only one or two specific ethnic groups. We welcome people of every ethnic background. Contrary to some misconceptions, one does not have to be Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, or any particular ethnicity to be an Orthodox Christian. Orthodox Christianity is a way of life, not an ethnicity. We are all God’s creation, and it is the True Faith in Jesus Christ that unites us. People of all backgrounds are welcome in the Orthodox Church and we at Saint Peter and Paul’s are honored to share our Orthodox Faith with everyone. Come in and join us in prayer anytime! Our doors and arms are always open.
