1. Holy Assumption Orthodox Church Marker
Our parish, part of the Diocese of the Midwest of the Orthodox Church in America, was founded in 1898 by Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants.
The church was consecrated in 1906 by Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow, who was martyred in Russia in 1925 under communist persecution.
Tsar Nicholas II presented our parish with various religious items still used today.
Our church services are in English. We welcome all guests, both Orthodox and Non-Orthodox.
Erected by Holy Assumptoon Orthodox Church.
