Parish History

The Mission was founded during the summer of 1996 with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP, when it became extremely clear, through various 'signs and wonders', that the Lord was desiring an Orthodox presence to be established in Homer, Alaska. Fr. Paul Moses Jaroslaw and his family, along with Subdeacon Thomas Reese and his family (formerly from St. John's Cathedral in Eagle River) purchased a large house on a scenic bluff over-looking the city of Homer (called the 'Holy Cross House') and began both a ministry for college kids, as well as the development of the Orthodox Mission. For the first four years, 80 college age young people came to Homer from all over the country and lived with the Jaroslaw and Reese families. This became the foundation for the Mission. In the nine years since their arrival, and with the labors and love of many, a beautiful church has been built to the glory of God, and Orthodoxy has taken root in one of the few Alaskan cities where there was no former Russian Orthodox influence.

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" (Psalm 37:23)

"Unless the Lord builds a house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1)
