Our members live throughout Mercer County and other neighboring areas of Pennsylvania and Ohio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Orthodox Church is a direct continuation of the original Church founded by Christ and the Apostles.\u00a0 Today, the Orthodox Church is an international communion of churches, with communities across the globe. Our parish, founded in 1938, is linked to worldwide Orthodoxy by being part of the\u00a0American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese\u00a0<em>(link to acrod.org)\u00a0<\/em>of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Orthodox Christians, we believe that we are called to take seriously our role as members of the \u201cBody of Christ\u201d (1 Corinthians 12:27). We strive to involve our faith in Jesus Christ in every part of our life through the Church\u2019s sacraments, liturgical worship, personal prayer, stewardship of our time and resources, and more. As a parish, we support charitable efforts and missionary endeavors, both locally and around the world.\u00a0 We build relationships with one another through fellowship, social activities, and educational opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about the Orthodox Faith,\u00a0visit the Orthodox Reading Room \u00a0<em>(link to\u00a0<\/em><span style=\"color: #f2f2f2;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210803224012\/https:\/www.acrod.org\/readingroom\/\" style=\"color: #f2f2f2;\"><em>https:\/\/www.acrod.org\/readingroom\/<\/em><\/a><\/span><em>)\u00a0<\/em>on our Diocesan website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our worship on Sundays and other days gives us a taste of the Kingdom of God.\u00a0 We invite you to join us on Sundays at 9:00 AM and for our other services and events.\u00a0 Please check our most recent bulletin and calendar for a full schedule.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#contact-us&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Get In Touch&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; button_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.2em&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|700||on|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|24px|16px|24px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Testimonials&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||3px|||&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Inter||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Inter||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">REVEREND FATHER DAVID MASTROBERTE<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father David Mastroberte is the presiding priest of Saint John\u2019s.\u00a0 Both he and his wife, Pani Vikkie, grew up in the Poconos, at the far eastern end of Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania.

As God\u2019s Providence would have it, they now live in and serve this great community on the opposite side of the state\u2014as far west as you can get on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania.
