Our Parish of about 125 families is located within a few blocks of the Mayo Clinic. We serve a great variety of Orthodox ethnic groups and American converts in Rochester and the surrounding areas. We are blessed with a new beautiful traditional Byzantine Church and Philoxenia Houses for medical visitors in financial need. We also have active Youth groups,Church School program, Philoptochos, and a beautiful Choir. Our parish priest and other volunteers visit Orthodox patients at the Mayo Clinic several times a week. He also visits three area prisons. On any one Sunday our parish welcomes visitors from all over the world who come for medical attention. We strive to make an often difficult visit away from home and family, a little better. We hope we can serve you as well!

These Saints were from Asia (that is, Asia Minor). After the death of their father, their Christ-loving mother Theodota reared them in piety and in all manner of virtue, and had them instructed in every science, especially that of medicine. This became their vocation, and they went about healing every illness and malady, bestowing healing freely on both men and beasts alike; because of this, they are called "Unmercenaries." And thus, having completed the course of their life, they reposed in peace.
