Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church

3602 Marietta Avenue, Lancaster

What to expect on a first visit

Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church describes itself: “St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church is the second Coptic Orthodox church that was established in the State of Pennsylvania.” Expect ancient liturgy engaging all the senses — chant, incense, and icons. Much of the congregation stands, and people come and go quietly during the long service; arriving mid-liturgy is normal and unremarkable. Expect hymns with choir or organ. Children's programming or nursery care is available. If you'd rather look before you visit, services are streamed online.
