Father John Mikita

We are celebrating one year with our full-time Priest, Father John Mikita. Father John and his wife, Matushka Christine, and their two children, Alexander and Rachel Hannah, moved to Tyler in January, 2008, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Father John served an Orthodox parish in Western Pennsylvania before embracing the call to come to the "mission field" of East Texas. He hosted a weekly radio show which featured teachings and chant of the Orthodox Church and was involved in the OCF at the local college. He was an Episcopal priest before he and his family converted to the Orthodox faith.

Please email me with any of your questions about Orthodoxy. I would be happy to meet with you as well, whether individually or as a group. I can also offer you guidance in reading resources, but I do encourage you to visit an Orthodox Parish.

Your servant in Christ,

Father John Mikita+
