Welcome

St. Mary’s is a parish family that has prayed together in Brooklyn for more than a hundred years. It was founded by Arabic-speaking Orthodox Christians, and today it is home to people of many backgrounds. Our services are in English, with some prayers in Arabic. Whoever you are, you are welcome to pray with us.
