Glory to Jesus Christ!

Welcome to the home page for Holy Cross Orthodox Church, located in Columbus/Worthington, Ohio. 

Established on March 7, 2010, the Orthodox Church Community of the Holy Cross  is currently home to 60 souls. The Divine Liturgy is served each Sunday at 9:30 a.m.(streaming on Facebook; Holy Cross Orthodox Church, Columbus, Ohio).   Church School is offered each Sunday following the Divine Liturgy (September through May). Confessions are each Saturday at 4:30 p.m., with Vespers at 5:00 p.m.

We are a parish of the American Carpatho-Russian (Rusyn) Orthodox Diocese, which is under the Ecumenical Patriarch. We follow the liturgical traditions and music of the Carpatho-Rusyn people, as well as incorporating music of other Orthodox traditions. All are welcome to attend. Masks are available for those who wish to use them.

God has blessed us throughout these early years, not only with growth in numbers, but with growth in Faith and perseverance.  We are grateful to all those who have and continue to support us in our work and welcome those who are interested in our Ancient Faith, as well as those Orthodox Christians visiting our area. 

If you have questions about Holy Cross, attending Orthodox services, or Orthodoxy in general, please feel free to contact me. My email address is DeaMark@aol.com.

Please enjoy your visit to our website.  We hope that, over time, it will become a source of inspiration and information for many. We ask that you remember our community and its work in your prayers and be assured of our prayers for all those who visit these pages.

In Christ,                         

Fr. Mark Lowery
