We would like to welcome you to the official website of St. Nicholas Cathedral. St. Nicholas is the mother Cathedral and seat of the Metropolitan of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. It is also the first community established by St. Raphael of Brooklyn in 1895. 2020 marks both the 125th anniversary of our establishment by St. Raphael and the 100th anniversary of our State Street location. If you would like more information, feel free to contact Father Thomas Zain, the Cathedral's Dean.
Thank you to all who attended, either in person or online, and to all who donated to our St. Nicholas Day Christmas Concert. We surpassed our goal of $10,000 by raising over $12,000 with some additional donations still coming in. God bless you all. If you missed it, please be sure to check out the concert on our Facebook page and webpage as it will remain in both places to view going forward. Meanwhile, here are some photos from today as well as the program that includes all of the donors to date, including those who gave today. A special thank you to our choir leader Fadi who led the Byzantine Choir and Bronwyn and Joel who led and organized the Western Christmas Carols. A blessed feast of St. Nicholas to all!
Final program including donors who gave the of the concert.
