Our Parish
Save, O Lord, Your people and bless Your inheritance;
grant victory to the faithful over their adversaries.
And protect Your commonwealth, by the power of Your Cross.
(Apolytikion of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross)
The Orthodox Church worships Christ in a manner unchanged from the earliest days of Christianity. Visitors are welcome to join us for services. Please consult the calendar for the schedule of services.
Since October 2016, our parish has been blessed with a permanent home at 6134 Black Bill Rd, Flagstaff, AZ 86004. We invite you to join us in worship and fellowship as we continue to grow in faith and community.
Our services are led by Fr. Basil Rosu, who serves our parish on weekends for Vespers, Orthros (Matins), and Divine Liturgy, as well as for occasional weekday services.
We welcome all—whether you are a longtime member, a visitor, or someone seeking to learn more about the Orthodox faith.
For service times and upcoming events, please check our calendar or reach out to us. We look forward to worshiping with you!
The icon of the Feast of the Precious Cross tells the story of the finding of the Cross and of its Exaltation. Patriarch Macarius is standing in the pulpit elevating the Cross for all to see and venerate. On each side of the Patriarch are deacons holding candles. The elevated Cross is surrounded and venerated by many clergy and lay people, including Saint Helen, the mother of Emperor Constantine.
In the background of the icon is a domed structure that represents the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem. This church was one of the churches constructed and dedicated by Emperor Constantine on the holy sites of Jerusalem.
