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 will mark 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.
Please join our fellow Orthodox Christians from Brooklyn for our annual Pan-Orthodox Brooklyn Lecture Series. This monthly event will take place at a different church in Brooklyn with a guest speaker. This year the theme is "Living the Lfie of the Apostles: Then and Now". Topics will include The Life of early Christians, miracles, conversion, misisonary work and the journeys of St. Paul. The first lecture will take place at St. Mary Antiocian Orthodox Church and the topic is:
“The Life of the Early Christians (Acts 2:43-47, 4:32-5:11)”
January 16 at 7:00pm – St. Mary Church, 192 81st Street (corner of Ridge Blvd.). The speaker is. Fr. Gerasimos Makris.

In 2012, we completed an updated version of our Cathedral brochure. This pamphlet is now available to parishioners and visitors alike for free in the vestibule of the Cathedral. You may also view it by clicking here.
As we celebrate the 125th Anniversary of our Mother Cathedral in 2020, it is important that we know our history and where we came from. With that in mind, in addition to the history section of our webiste, you can download a brief life of St. Raphael of Brooklyn who founded our community in 1895.
