Welcome to our website. We are pleased you have taken the time to visit us today!  Here you will find useful information on the Holy Orthodox Faith, events and service times at our Parish, sermons and photos as well. It is our prayer that you will be richly blessed by God in your life for all your needs and desires.

We invite you to join us for any of the beautiful services held at St. Nicholas each week (see the monthly calendar for details).  If you are looking to enrich your life with Jesus Christ, you will find no better place to achieve that then here at St. Nicholas.  The beauty of our services, the singing, and the icons and architecture will enhance your experience in ways beyond your imagination.  This is not said in any boastful way, but as our humble offering to God as we celebrate His many blessings every time we gather in community.

We hope you will join us in praising God in a tradition that is as old as Christianity itself.  No fads, no gimmicks, just genuine and authentic worship and preaching to the God of love and live, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. We will give you an honest, sincere and loving answer based on the Holy Scriptures and Fathers of the Church.  We look forward to meeting you! God bless you!

Fr. David Mahaffey

 Virtues exist in us also by nature, and the soul has affinity with them not by education, but by nature herself.  We do not need lessons to hate illness, but by ourselves we repel what afflicts us, the soul has no need of a master to teach us
to avoid vice.  Now all vice is a sickness of the soul as virtue is its health.  Thus those have defined health well who have
called it a regularity in the discharge of natural functions; a definition that can be applied without fear to the good condition of
the soul.  Thus, without having need of lessons, the soul can attain by herself to what is fit and conformable to nature.  Hence it comes that temperance everywhere is
praised, justice is in honour, courage admired, and prudence the object of all aims; virtues which concern the soul more than health concerns
the body.  Children love your parents, and you, “parents provoke not your children to wrath.”  Does not nature say the same?  Paul teaches us nothing new; he only tightens the links of nature.  If the lioness loves her cubs,
if the she wolf fights to defend her little ones, what shall man say who is unfaithful to the precept and violates nature herself; or the
son who insults the old age of his father; or the father whose second marriage has made him forget his first children?
