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. If you would like more information, feel free to contact Father Thomas Zain, the Cathedral's Dean.

We will have our annual church picnic on Sunday, July 22 immediately following the Divine Liturgy at Ft. Hamilton Army Base on the bluff. Everyone should bring his own food and drinks as well as chairs if you have them because there are a limited number of picnic tables. We will have a charcoal grill for everyone to cook their food. We look forward to seeing you all there and spending the afternoon together.
IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND, WE MUST HAVE THE FIRST AND LAST NAMES OF THOSE ATTENDING. PLEASE EMAIL FR. THOMAS AT STNICKCATHEDRAL2@AOL.COM WITH THIS INFORMATION NO LATER THAN JULY 1st.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIVINE LITURGY WILL BE AT 9:00AM THAT MORNING IN THE CATHEDRAL SO WE CAN HAVE AN EARLY START TO THE PICNIC.
For the months of July and August Orthros will begin at 9:00am and Divine Liturgy at 10:00am except for Sunday, July 22 (the day of our picnic) when we will have Divine Liturgy at 9:00am (no orthros that morning).
You can now download a list of the Cathedral departed that used to be printed in the monthly newsletter. We are making it available in this format in order to save printing costs. If you find any omissions or mistakes in the name/date of death of your departed loved one, please email Fr. Thomas at stnickcathedral2@aol.com to have it corrected. The attached file is current as of January, 2018.

As we celebrate the 123rd Anniversary of our Mother Cathedral in 2018, it is important that we know our history and where we came from.
