Mission Communities
Which one is closest to you? Have you visited? Are you praying for them? Can you support them in some way?
Deaneries, established parishes, and local groups are all encouraged to consider planting a mission, especially in areas where there may be no Orthodox presence.
Below are the existing diocesan chapels and missions.
Chapels
Chapels are small local communities that exist as an outreach of an existing parish, perhaps in an effort to test the vitality and interest in a particular area, or simply to offer liturgical life and ministry to a small or isolated community.
