Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Brooklyn

About this church

Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral celebrates the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday in downtown Brooklyn and welcomes local residents and short-term New York visitors alike. The cathedral has offered a traditional Orthodox Christian experience in the neighborhood since 1913. Icons, candles, incense, and the building’s sacred art shape an immersive liturgical setting, so a first visit may feel notably different from worship in a contemporary Protestant church.

Youth ministries combine spiritual formation, friendship, discussion, and activities, while stewardship and service invite the wider congregation to give and serve as connected practices. The what-to-expect material is especially useful for people unfamiliar with Orthodox worship because it explains the visual and sensory environment rather than assuming prior knowledge. Visitors should plan enough time to enter the Schermerhorn Street cathedral before the liturgy begins and review the official calendar for feast-day additions. Those with questions about receiving Communion, accessibility, or language use should contact the cathedral in advance, since Orthodox sacramental practice has specific expectations.
