Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are the only Orthodox Church in St. Lawrence county. St. Lawrence county is the
largest county in our state. What an opportunity! What an opportunity to build the Orthodox
Church in America. We are not here to cater to a certain demographic or cultural group. We are
here to bring Orthodoxy to everyone. >>>Read More

St. Olympia Orthodox Church in Potsdam, NY, is young church community under the Orthodox
Church of America, Diocese of New York/New Jersey in cooperation with the Monastery of St. Silouan the
Athonite, OCA Archdiocese of Canada. Divine Liturgies are held weekly at a private chapel. Fellowship and
a parish lunch follow the services. For many years prior to the establishment of this mission, St. Vasilios Greek
Orthodox Church in Watertown, NY, came to Potsdam twice a year to hold a liturgy. The services offered by
this mission parish are meant to supplement those offerings.
Members of the St. Olympia Orthodox Church are from all ethnic backgrounds: Greek, Russian, Albanian,
Ukrainian, Eritrean... and just plain American. Services are primarily in English, and the music is from both the
Byzantine chant and Russian choral traditions. The community is a mix of students, post-doctoral researchers
and faculty, as well as local families. It is a blend of "cradle Orthodox," converts to the faith and people
exploring Orthodoxy
.
The community is cared for by our Priest Fr. Paul Fedoroff, Priest in Charge.
