About Our Parish
St. Nicholas Orthodox Church is a local parish of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. Our parishioners live in Charlottesville, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, and other towns in Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley.
The bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA are in communion with His All-Holiness, BARTHOLOMEW Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch, and all of the North American Orthodox Churches who participate in the Standing Committee of Orthodox Bishops in America (SCOBA).
Services at St. Nicholas are celebrated in English, using melodies familiar to many different Orthodox traditions.
