Christ is risen! Christos voskrese! Christos anesti!

Welcome to Holy Cross Orthodox Mission Online

Established on March 7, 2010 Holy Cross is the newest ministry of the Orthodox Church in the greater Columbus, Ohio area. Originally founded by immigrants from the Carpatho-Rusyn regions of present-day Slovakia, Poland and Western Ukraine, the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese today is comprised of peoples of all ethnic backgrounds, many of whom are converts to the faith. All services are in English and our mission extends to both Orthodox Christians and non-Orthodox alike.

We are located at 2548 Billingsley Road, Columbus, OH 43235. The Divine Liturgy is celebrated Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. and is followed by fellowship and refreshments. Great Vespers are served on Saturdays at 5:30 p.m. with confessions heard beginning at 5:00 p.m. For more information on the mission, e-mail holycrossorthodox@gmail.com or visit “Holy Cross Orthodox Mission, Columbus, OH” on Facebook.
