Holy Myrrhbearers Orthodox Church

About this church

Holy Myrrhbearers Orthodox Church is a St. Cloud parish whose weekly life centers on Vespers, the Divine Liturgy, prayer, and formation in Orthodox Christian faith. Its mission is to worship God, grow in holiness, and share the gospel through a community shaped by sacramental and contemplative practice. The visitor guide is especially useful for people attending an Orthodox church for the first time, explaining the physical movement, icons, incense, and sung prayer they may encounter.

Vespers begins Saturday at 5:00 p.m., and Sunday Divine Liturgy begins at 9:30 a.m. The congregation notes that Orthodox worship involves substantial standing, although pews around the perimeter provide seating and a cry room is available for families. Modest clothing is preferred, but visitors are encouraged to come as they are rather than delay a visit over dress. Special services follow the liturgical calendar; for example, an August 13 Paraklesis announcement is a dated Dormition-season service, not an additional weekly Thursday time. Guests should therefore rely on the homepage schedule for the ordinary weekend and the news or calendar notices for fasts and feasts. The About and Mission pages explain how worship, prayer, and community life fit together.
