Come and see. You are welcome exactly as you are.
Your First Visit
What to expect when you walk in: standing, candles, the length of the service, when to come forward, and what to do about the coffee hour afterward.
What We Believe
The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Apostles, unchanged in faith and worship for two thousand years. A plain introduction for the curious.
Questions Visitors Ask
How long is the service, what should I wear, may I bring my children, may I receive Communion? Short, honest answers to the questions we hear most.
Our Story, in His Words
Ernie Mikita’s family has been part of St. Mary’s for three generations. Hear what the church on the hill has meant to them.
Slavic Fest
One weekend every October, the whole parish cooks.
Pierogi, holubky, kolache and sausage made the way the homesteaders made them, live music, dancing, church tours and the plains sky. Slavic Fest is our biggest gathering of the year and the main way we keep the church on the hill in good repair.
Parish Life
Feasts, baptisms, weddings and festival days, in pictures.
