Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church, Yonkers, New York

WELCOME!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Welcome to our website! We are thankful that you have found us and we pray that you will find our church to be a conduit to your spiritual salvation. We have a number of organizations and church groups for all ages and interests.  We are especially proud of our very active and growing Sunday School, our Magnificent Choir and our Clergy and Parishoners who make us what we are. You will find us a deeply rooted spiritual community of caring people who help each other.
 
Please explore our site and, even more importantly, plan to join us in Worship! You are always welcome. We've been here in Yonkers for 110 years. We'll wait for you!
As one of the oldest Orthodox Christian Churches in Westchester County, many thousands of parishioners and families have passed through our doors, each having played a very personal role in the evolution of our parish. Many of our present day families root to the earliest beginnings of the parish, some being 4th and 5th generation in our parish. New families continue to join with us. Our parish profile is now a wonderful balance of young families, extended families, senior citizens, new immigrants from Russia and other countries and converts from many faiths.

Over the years, three Orthodox Saints have been present in our church. The church was consecrated in 1906 by three clergy who have been cannonized as saints of the Orthodox Church: St. Tikhon, St. Raphael, and St. Alexander Hotovitzky. You can see them in the early photo of the Consecration of Holy Trinity in the history section of this website. It is an especially inspiring image.

We have former parishioners all over the United States and many countries of the world. In addition a number of past and present day Priests and other clergy can call Holy Trinity their birth parish.
 
We look forward to hearing from you, seeing you and answering any questions you might have.
