Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church

About this church

Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church is an Orthodox Church in America parish at 285 Alden Avenue in New Haven. Its regular schedule lists Divine Liturgy at 9:00 a.m. Sunday, Vespers at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Vespers at 5:00 p.m. Saturday. Weekly bulletins provide the fuller calendar because feast days, commemorations, and seasonal services can add to that pattern. Sunday notices commonly include a coffee hour after Liturgy, giving guests a natural opportunity to meet parishioners after worship.

The church's official site is unusually useful for someone learning Orthodox practice. It publishes an introduction to Orthodox history, explanations of the sacraments and church building, service texts, weekly bulletins, and an archive of recorded services. Those resources can help a first-time visitor understand the rhythm of Vespers and Divine Liturgy before attending. Parish ministry groups and current announcements add opportunities beyond the regular services, while the liturgical calendar shapes the community's week and year. Visitors should consult the newest bulletin when planning around a major feast, but the standing schedule offers a clear starting point: Saturday evening Vespers prepares for Sunday morning Divine Liturgy, and Tuesday Vespers adds a second weekday opportunity for prayer in the Orthodox tradition.
