Antiochian Orthodox 
St Mary is, first and foremost, an Orthodox Church. Organized in August 1995, with its first Divine Liturgy September 15, 1995, it is the only Orthodox Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and serves the entire community, without regard to ethnic background.
Our membership includes people of Greek, Russian, Bulgarian, Egyptian, and Iraqi descent, as well as people whose families came from Italy, England, Germany, Slovakia, and Slovenia, and the dates of immigration to what is now the United States range from 1621 to1990.
All of our services are in English, the common language of our members. Since we are affiliated with the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (Metropolitan Philip), our liturgical tradition is Byzantine/Greek. Most of our chant is Byzantine, but with many selections from Russian, Carpatho-Russian, and other traditional orthodox musical traditions. The singing is by the entire congregation, with only leading from a small choir.
We have a full liturgical schedule with Orthtos (Matins) and Liturgy every Sunday, Vespers every Saturday, and Liturgy for all the major feasts. In addition, we have Bible Study every Wednesday, plus Inquirers and Catechumens classes and pre-Baptismal classes as needed.
