Established 1895
Our parish was formally organized in 1895 and personally supported by the last czar of Imperial Russia, St. Czar Nicholas II, who declared: "Let there be an Orthodox Church in Galveston." To this day, our parish houses the same beautiful icons and gospel book donated by the czar himself.
Our parish is also the resting place of the great Rev. Archimandrite Theoclitos (Triantafilides), the czar's childhood tutor who is buried beneath the altar and considered by some to be a saint.
From our inception, we have been a diverse and multi-ethnic parish welcoming Orthodox faithful and interested visitors from all backgrounds.
Donations: General Fund
$100.00
- Since our consecration in 1895, we have relied on the love-inspired donations of friends and members to keep our doors open, our candles burning, and our prayers flowing.
From the generous donations of Saint Czar Nicholas II upon our founding, to the monthly contributions of our devoted parishioners, our continued existence is a testament to God's mercy and goodwill to the Galveston community, and the movement of His grace through His people.
