Welcome To The
Holy Ghost Orthodox Church

Ambridge, Pennsylvania

Celebrating 100 Years
1907-2007

The angel cried to the Lady full of grace: "Rejoice pure Virgin.  Your Son is risen from His three days in the tomb.  With Himself He has raised all the dead.  Rejoice, all ye people!"

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life.

 Христос Воскресе!
 Воистину Воскресе Христос!

 

We are a parish in the Archdiocese of Western Pennsylvania of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). The over 100 year old parish has approximately 220 adult members with a mix of ages, in addition to approximately 30 children.

Parish programs include church school, teen group, youth choir, adult choir, Bible/religious discussion groups, Liturgical Chanting Class, Fellowship of Orthodox Christians of America (FOCA) Chapter #5, and a Ladies Altar Society.

Responses to the services are done both with the choir and congregation. Responses are mainly in English with a small amount of Church Slavonic.

The parish has been involved in various community outreach programs during the past few years including feeding the homeless, charity food collections, aid to displaced fire victims, donations to the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC). The Holy Ghost parish is also a member of the Fellowship of Orthodox Stewards (FOS) of the OCA.

We are a handicap accessible facility by means of an elevator lift into the church nave via the vestibule front entrance.
