St. Herman of Alaska Community History
St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church: A Brief History
"The date of the establishing of the church named in honor of St. Herman of Alaska is unknown to me," reports Fr. John McCuen, who was charged with seeing to the pastoral care and potential re-establishment of the parish upon being sent to Arizona by His Eminence, KYRILL, Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America, in June of 2002. (Fr. John is also the Rector of Holy Archangels Orthodox Church in Phoenix, Arizona, who are supportive of the efforts to restore St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church to operation.) "I do know that the priest who served in the parish for many years was Hieromonk Innokenty, who died in the mid-1990s. For a time, there was a priest in Phoenix who was charged with ministering to the needs of the parish, but when this priest left the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia for another jurisdiction, there was no one available to serve in the parish. This is why Vladika Kyrill asked me to take on this responsibility."
Efforts were made in 2003 to resume some services, but the core group necessary to support these activities did not begin to coalesce until the summer of 2006. Finally, the commitments necessary for a decision to begin were made, and a molieben to St. Herman of Alaska was celebrated on July 13th (n.s.). The first Divine Liturgy was celebrated on July 17/30, 2006. A second Divine Liturgy was held on August 14/27, 2006.
The situation remains "fluid" for the parish community, as there is, as yet, no permanent place for the church to meet and have services. By God's grace, and with your prayers, this critical need will be met.

Abide with us
O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
