Mission of St. Paul (Greek-Melkite)

The community is known for celebrating Jesus, offering moments for meditation, seminars, and brief breakfast gatherings.

Father Alexei (also mentioned as Archimandrite Alexei and Fr. Alexei Smith) is highly regarded as a great, knowledgeable, and wise pastor.

Homilies by Fr. Alexei Smith are consistently thought-provoking, full of wisdom, and offer unique perspectives.

The church features beautiful singing, a choir, and cantors, with a capella singing in the Russian-Greek service being particularly appreciated.

Visitors consistently describe the community as warm, welcoming, and more inclusive than many other parishes, even for non-Byzantine Catholics.

The church itself is beautiful, with a hand-painted iconostasis and rich symbolism, creating a sacred atmosphere.
