St Mary Coptic Orthodox Church

About this church

St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a Coptic Orthodox parish incorporated in 1975, making it the second Coptic Orthodox church established in the state. The website lists a main sanctuary at 770 Summit Drive and a chapel at 3602 Marietta Avenue, the building the congregation acquired in 1980. The Sunday Divine Liturgy is shown on the church calendar at roughly 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with weekday liturgies and Evening Incense (Vespers) also scheduled, so visitors should confirm the current schedule on the website. Services are livestreamed.

The calendar shows an active program for children and youth, including Sunday School classes for pre-kindergarten through grade twelve after the liturgy, an Angels Ministry Sunday School for grades two through five, and weekly hymns classes for children, teens, and adults. Youth have Evening Incense and Midnight Praises gatherings, and a Ladies Lounge meets for women. Confessions are offered by appointment. The site also includes pages on Coptic Orthodoxy, the Nicene Creed, clergy, and a new church building project, along with newcomer information for first-time visitors.
