No Church This Sunday

Message from the Parish
Welcome!! Holy Trinity is an active parish of the Greek Orthodox Church in America under the jurisdiction of His All-Holiness Bartholomew I, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople; His Eminence Demetrios, Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America; and His Eminence, Metropolitan Maximos, Holy Metropolis of Pittsburgh.
Our beautiful church is located in the downtown area of Altoona, Pennsylvania and was founded over a century ago by immigrants from various parts of Greece who wanted to preserve their spiritual and cultural inheritance. Today, many of the parishioners drive from State College and other outlying areas to celebrate the Divine Liturgy with Fr. John who drives from Buffalo, NY on a weekly basis.
We welcome you to Divine Liturgy today. Whether you are an Orthodox Christian, or this is your first visit to an Orthodox Church, we are pleased to have you with us. Although Holy Communion is reserved for baptized and chrismated (confirmed) Orthodox Christians, all are invited to receive the “antidoron” which is not a sacrament, but is a reminder of the “agape feast” that followed worship in the early Church. After the Divine Liturgy this morning, please join us in the Church Hall for fellowship and refreshments. We hope you will return often to worship with us, to grow in Christ and in our Orthodox Faith.
