St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, Joliet IL - Joliet (IL)

5 /5 Aaron Weinert: First time I showed up, I didnt know what to expect. Everyone was very polite and welcoming. I highly recommend this Church. Fr. Mykola is a very nice, and wise man. Dn. Dave is very polite, and friendly. Everyone at this parish is willing to help out newcomers. The people here are basically my family. If you have any questions there will always be someone who can help you. The Liturgy is amazing, and Vespers is another great service. Those 2 are great for the soul. Amazing choir, and beautiful iconography. You can easily see the fruits of the Holy Spirit here. This place has helped me out a lot. Im pretty introverted, but this place has helped improve my social life. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to reach out. One message our parish has every week, "If you are without a spiritual home, please make OUR HOME, YOUR HOME". If youd like to attend the service is upstairs.

5 /5 Евгений Чепурняк: thanks to all parishioners. we all pray for peace in Ukraine and for world peace. join our Sunday prayers. thanks to father Nicholas.

5 /5 Richard Rogge: I have stumbled along the journey of faith for about 15yrs. After all that time I have finally found my way to Orthodoxy, a place I have suspected I was headed for a long time. This Church is very warm and welcoming, with approachable & knowledgeable clergy, and friendly parishioners. I would HIGHLY recommend giving it a try.

5 /5 Sean Lenckus: I found this church in July of 2020 after researching the traditions of Orthodox Christianity. Lacking spiritual fulfillment, I decided to attend a Divine Liturgy one Sunday morning. This experience truly changed my life. I was welcomed with open arms by Father Mykola, Deacon Hannemann, and all of the members of the church. Despite my complete lack of knowledge regarding certain orthodox traditions, they accepted me nevertheless. I am glad to now be a Catechumen in this parish. It is truly a welcoming, comforting, and enlightening environment. The fellowship that I am a part of sets a precedent for how I approach all situations in life. I look forward to seeing more at this church!

5 /5 Irysia B: St. Nicholas Church became our home since Fr.Mykola became a priest in this parish. We met very nice people from different countries and were impressed with the support and warmth of them. The Parish is fortunate to have such a dedicated priest who has shown the real spirit of a priest as well as he has a wonderful and devoted Matushka Olga, they put in so much effort and work at the church and setting such a wonderful example to their parishioners.
