Assistance for the Troutman Family

Dearest Family & Friends of St Michael's,

This past week, the Troutman family (Doreen & Harry, along with John Meholic) suffered a devastating fire that consumed their home. Thank God, it appears everyone is safe and uninjured. However the family is entirely displaced and have lost most of their possessions. Please keep Doreen, Harry, and John in your fervent prayers.

Immediate assistance can be given online at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebuild-lives-after-a-devastating-house-fire .

The Artisan Fire Company (20 maple Street, Jermyn) is also collecting Clothing, Supplies, and Gift Certificates. See Artisan's Facebook feed here .

Through the prayers of the Holy Youths, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael; may the Lord God continue to protect and preserve their family unharmed!

Welcome to Our Parish!

You are cordially invited to visit St. Michael's Orthodox Church in Jermyn. Our church is a parish of the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). We warmly welcome all who are in search of a church that is in unchanging continuity with the Church of the Apostles and where they may find the purity of the Apostolic Faith.

If you haven't heard of the Orthodox Church: The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It is not non-denominational, it is pre-denominational. It has been believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for. It is the Faith that has established the universe!

Come and worship with us and with the Saints of all ages!

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

St. Michael Orthodox Church is part of the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania, which is presided over by The Most Reverend Mark (Maymon), Archbishop of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. Our mission is bringing the joy of Christ's resurrection to those who have never heard the Good News, and to strengthen and encourage the faithful who reside within Jermyn and the local area. 

More Information >

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Daily Readings >

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
