"... The true aim of our Christian life consists in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God. As for fasts, and vigils, and prayer, and almsgiving, and every good deed done for Christ's sake, they are only means of acquiring the Holy Spirit of God. But mark, my son, only the good deed done for Christ's sake brings us the fruits of the Holy Spirit..."

Our HistoryIn the summer of the year 2004 Bishop Peter of Cleveland, Administrator of the Diocese of Chicago & Detroit, blessed the beginning of the new parish of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (RÎCOR) in Ingham County, Michigan. The first service (a Moleben) was held by the Priest Gregory Joyce, Rector of St. Vladimir Church in Dexter, Michigan. Fr. Gregory will oversee our Mission until a permanent Rector can be assigned.
