We are a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church, a part of the worldwide Orthodox Church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ and spread throughout the world by His holy apostles and their successors. The Head of the Church is our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In obedience to Him we are led by His Holiness, Kirill, the Patriarch of Moscow, and by His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad.
