St. Nicholas Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Hoonah, Alaska, is a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, belonging to the Diocese of Sitka and Alaska and the Sitka / Southeast Deanery. The parish was founded in 1897 and is listed at 159 Front Street. The weekly schedule begins on Saturday evening at 6:00 p.m. with Reader's Vespers. On Sunday morning, the Third and Sixth Hours are prayed at 9:30 a.m., followed at 10:00 a.m. by Reader's Obednitsa and Typika.

The parish directory names a priest-in-charge who is attached to St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral in Sitka, so the Hoonah congregation is linked to the cathedral parish, and the contact office number given there is 907-747-8120. The listing also names lay leaders and parish council members who help guide parish life. Mail is received at PO Box 236, Hoonah, AK 99829, which is separate from the street address of the church building. The directory points to a Facebook page, StNicholasHoonah, as the parish's web presence, so that is a sensible place to look for news. Service times can change, especially around feast days, so first-time visitors should confirm the current schedule with the parish or the diocese before attending.
