St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral
Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Since 1927
Founded in 1927 and at its present location on St. Joseph Boulevard West since 1964, St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral is part of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, under the Canadian Diocese and His Eminence Archbishop Gabriel. Parishioners are mainly Russian immigrants, immigrants from other Slavic countries, and Quebecers alike - all welcome who are looking for a place to worship, to gather in prayer, and to rest from the demands of everyday life. Services follow the old-style Julian calendar, and the parish's own Alexander Pushkin School has taught Russian language, faith, and culture to children on Saturdays since 1937.

A dependent parish of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Montreal, it gathers every other Sunday for Divine Liturgy and keeps one of the community's most distinctive traditions alive each January: cutting a cross-shaped opening in the ice at nearby Lake Pontbriand for the blessing of the waters at Theophany.

St. Patricks Cathedral in New York
Gothic silence among the skyscrapers
On Fifth Avenue, surrounded by glass, flagship boutiques, office towers and the constant movement of Midtown Manhattan, St. Patrick’s Cathedral looks almost impossible. Its white marble walls and Gothic Revival spires seem to have been carried here from another age, yet that is exactly its power. It does not disappear among the skyscrapers. On the contrary, it makes the city around it feel even more dramatic. In New York, where everything reaches upward, this cathedral reminds us that height can be not only architectural, but spiritual.
