St. Nicholas Romanian Orthodox Church

34 Gold Street, Shrewsbury

What to expect on a first visit

St. Nicholas Romanian Orthodox Church describes itself: “Sunday School occurs after Divine Liturgy during the time of the sermon.” 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. Music is chanted liturgy, largely a cappella. Children's programming or nursery care is available.
