Orthodox churches in NYC (Yonkers, Pelham: building, county, place)

[bxlover]

Hello, interested in attending a liturgy in Queens, Manhattan, or Bronx. Im Puerto Rican so I am not a member of the ethnic communties normally affiliated with Orthodoxy. Any liturgies in English ? Any cogregants can make a recomendation.

Holy Virgin Protection at 59 E 2nd St has liturgy mostly in English and a fairly diverse crowd there but still plenty of members from traditional Orthodox countries. It's OCA. ROCOR and GOA churches are often more old county with less English used than OCA though it varies.

Their is a Greek othrodox church near Pelham Bay. And another greek othrodox church near Riverdale. As for Russian othrodox churches? I'm not sure those are big in NYC since most NYC Russians are Jewish and to some extent Muslim.

In the northwest Bronx there are a few Orthodox churches frequented by Greeks, in Kingsbridge I believe. Venture to Yonkers and there are Orthodox churches frequented mostly by Palestinians and Jordanians.

There is a large Greek Orthodox church in Queens somewhere near Northern Blvd. (if I remember correctly) that has services in English as well Greek.

Shouldn't have much problem finding a Greek Orthodox Church in any of the boroughs, Astoria in queens alone has about 4-5.

There's one in Wash. Heights. I guess a leftover from when there was a Greek community there.

They're building a nice big new one adjacent to the WTC to replace the one squashed by Tower Two on 9/11. Not quite finished yet, though.
