About Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection
-
Welcome to the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection and Chapel of St Innocent of Irkutsk, one of the main places of Orthodox worship in New York City.
We are a warm and welcoming parish community with a great diversity of people, young and old, native New Yorkers, transplants, and immigrants. We are united in the belief that we can experience God’s love and sustaining presence in our lives in the world, and share that good news with all who may welcome it. We seek to live in gratitude for all things, and work acquire the Holy Spirit in and through the teachings and example of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures, and the life and activity of the Church as His continuing presence in the world.
