A Living Tradition
in the Heart of Joliet
Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church is a parish in the Diocese of the Midwest of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). Founded in 1907 by Eastern European immigrants, our community has grown over the past century into a vibrant parish of cradle Orthodox, converts, and seekers — all drawn together by the timeless beauty of the ancient Christian faith.
We invite you to come and see: to taste the liturgical life that has nourished the Church for two millennia, and to find a home among us.
