St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church
St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church
AI Summary
The parish, founded in May 2004 and worshipping at the historic Clifton Chapel since 2005, offers all services in English and a Sunday Divine Liturgy followed by a welcoming Fellowship Hour. Visitors should note the physical approach: a narrow gravel lane between two houses (marked with a green street sign) leading to 60 Clifton Chapel Ln in Stafford, and are asked to slow to no greater than 8 mph because of small children in the area. Metropolitan Jonah, appointed Rector in September 2017, regularly leads classes and sermons (many archived on the parish YouTube channel), and the community keeps a weekly Reading of the Hours, regular Confession times, Saturday Catechumen’s classes, and full Lenten services including Presanctified Liturgy, the Great Canon, and Holy Unction. The parish also hosts an Iconography Guild founded by Matushka Joanna (affiliated with the Prosopon School), provides monthly bulletins and downloadable educational materials, and accepts online donations via PayPal (receipts emailed; treasurer@sthermanorthodox.org).
