Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church

About this church

Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church begins Sunday Matins at 8:00 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 9:30 at 25636 North Mosiertown Road in the village of Crossingville near Edinboro. Liturgy normally lasts about ninety minutes, followed around 11:15 by a potluck coffee hour and Faith Enrichment for all ages in the Activity Center. Great Vespers begins Saturdays at 6:00, lasts about forty-five minutes, and is followed by a reading from The Prologue; Confession is available afterward or by appointment.

The parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania of the Orthodox Church in America. Founded by immigrants from the Carpathian region, it received a charter in 1921; parishioners later moved a former Lutheran church to Crossingville by horse team and completed the project in 1931. That century-long local story now includes an icon garden, church education, hospitality, and outreach. Missions support local needs, charities, missionaries, campus outreach, and public events, while the church’s invitation to inquirers is simply to “come and see.” Visitors can therefore expect a full liturgical morning, a meal and learning afterward, and explicit room for people who are not already Orthodox.
