Frank Erwin Center

See exotic animals, including Asian elephants, Royal Bengal and white tigers. Gasp at jaw-dropping stunts, high-wire high jinx, adrenaline-pounding trapeze and more!

They're priced at $20 (these are normally $25), and are available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

We have Vespers the 2nd Saturday of each month at 7:00 pm, and Liturgy the 2nd Sunday of each month at 9:30 am, which is usually followed by a short meeting and trapeza, or common meal.

On the Sundays when no Liturgy is held, we gather at the church for Hours and Typika services. After refreshments Fr. Aidan, monk, is giving talks on the history and spiritual meaning of the holy icons in our church. After this talk, we have a brief music rehearsal.

There are also occasional celebrations for special feasts, and other activities (to be announced).

We are currently an English language church (with some Slavonic) of the Russian Orthodox Church under the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America.
