St. Michael's Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church

GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST!

Joy and peace to you, Internet Sojourner!

You have arrived at the website of St. Michael's Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church of Greensburg, Pennsylvania! If you think you are here by accident, perhaps you should think again. Is your arrival here a co-incidence or a God-incidence?

If there is a God, then you are not here by accident. The dynamic power of the universe itself has brought you here today and the God Who knows all things saw you coming. Therefore, let it be understood that your journey here has been guided by the One Who has established and scheduled the Universe.

If your are a seeker of the Truth, you have come to the right place at the right time. For while common truths are shared by good religion, good philosophy and good common sense, the Orthodox Way does not understand there to be many and varied ultimate truths. Instead, the claim of the Orthodox Church is that there is but One Truth, which is to be discovered in, and which is the divine-human person, Jesus of Nazareth --- the Second Person of the pre-eternal, uncreated Triune Godhead.

If you are reading this, you are keeping a Divine Appointment with Him/Them and you are right on time.

So, WELCOME! We know that in some way your having come to our website will hasten your journey to Truth! Perhaps that will include our meeting each other face-to-face some day!

Yours along the cyber-path that may lead us to Him Who is "the Way the Truth and the Life,"

Archpriest John Nosal, Pastor

Bishop Thomas Recommends St. Michael's

His Grace Bishop THOMAS has recommended that our parish accept the responsibility of being a diocesan center for the newly forming Orthodox Christian Coalition for Health Youth (OCCHY). Among all the aspects of a person’s health, the coalition will focus particularly on the alarming problem of alcohol abuse in our teenage community.

This work of our Antiochian Archdiocese Department of Youth Ministry is being done in cooperation with the U.S. Federal Government and may find funding and matching funding through this cooperation.

Questions on this topic should be addressed to Fr. John.
