OUR HOLY HOUSE: 
Our founders worked hard to create an authentic Byzantine Church in a western-style building.  The most striking feature is the icon screen which separates the Holy Place from the nave.  Its icons present Christ, the Mother of God, St Nicholas, patron of Byzantine Catholics and the Resurrection.   

The upper row depicts the major feasts of the Church year.  The side doors, with icons of Archangels Michael and Gabriel, is used by the clergy and servers; the central “Royal Doors” are reserved for Christ—present in the Gospel and the Eucharist. The icon screen is not a barrier but a reminder that we have access to heaven only through Jesus Christ.   

The arrangement and decoration of a Byzantine Church continues to follow the directions given by God to Moses in the Old Testament but reinterpreted in terms of the perfect sacrifice offered once and for all by Jesus Christ. 

The Holy Table is overshadowed by two cherubim and a cross; on it are the Holy Gospel, a Cross and the tabernacle containing the Holy Eucharist and it is illumined by a seven-branched lamp—all biblical (Hebrews 9). 

 The tetra pod, the table in front of the icon screen, offers the faithful an icon to venerate and is the location for the celebration of the sacraments and blessings.  The faithful who gather for worship are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12,1)—icons of the saints. 

We understand our Liturgy to be a foretaste of heavenly worship. The gold "onion dome" which crowns our Church represents the gift of the Holy Spirit descending on us and our prayers rising up like a flame to God.
