Monday, March 23, 2026
Dearest brothers and sisters in the Lord,
Glory to Jesus Christ!
This week throughout the week we will be moving the rest of our belongings from St. Stephen Chapel to their new home.
Tuesday, March 24 (6pm) the Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts will be served in our new building. All services from that point on will be at 2323 N State Street Unit 112, the new home for St. Alexis parish!
On Saturday, March 28, there will be a final cleaning of St. Stephen Chapel.
May God give us all strength for the tasks ahead, with great joy in His abundant provision and patient love for each other in this time of significant change in our community.
Gratefully yours,
Fr David
Welcome to St. Alexis Orthodox Mission! A Mission of Joy!
Our patron, righteous father Alexis of Wilkes-Barre, was a missionary priest, sent from his homeland in Slovakia as a Uniate, who, in order to serve and protect his flock in the United States in a hostile environment, recognized the need to lead them in a return to their Orthodox Christian heritage.
We are a multi-ethnic community, welcoming Orthodox Christians from all backgrounds as well as those who want to learn and experience the Christian faith. Everyone is welcome to visit our Mission. We are a Mission of the Orthodox Church in America, the Diocese of the South.
Services are held in English.
If visiting an Orthodox church is new to you, then here is some information that may help you feel more at home.

St. Alexis of Wilkes-Barre Mission in Palm Coast, FL is being awarded a third-year grant for $24,000. Originally founded in 1995, St. Alexis saw slow growth initially, but found its footing several years ago. Led by Archpriest David Rucker, the mission has thrived with the help of the Church Planting Grant and is entering its final year of support.
