St Peter & Paul Orthodox Chr

The Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Parish, Jersey City, New Jersey, was established on March 25, 1907, by immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires, as a community of the North American Ecclesiastical Mission. It was organized under the pastoral guidance of the Archpriest Alexander Hotovitsky, who was canonized in 1994, as Missionary to North America and New-Martyr of Russia. The temple in which the parish worships today was consecrated on September 3, 1908, by Most Reverend PLATON (Rozhdestvensky)
