Parish Background

St Nicholas Church was organized in 1940 by a small group of local Orthodox Christians.  In the early years, services were held in a rented house.  In 1957, The Church was built at the present location.

The social hall was built in 1960.  Every Sunday after Liturgy we enjoy getting together for a cup of coffee and piroshki, meeting our friends, and welcoming visitors to our church.  Church activities, for the most part, consist of picnics and pot-lucks.
