New church in the Florida keys

[RKO]

I'm taking a vacation in the keys and saw a sign on an old building that said "future home of Prophet Jonah Eastern Orthodox Church." Glad to see the EOC growing!

 

[E.C.]

Whaaat! Gotta know which Key since I'll be in Key West in a month.

did it say what jurisdiction it was?

It seems to be associated with the OCA, but that's not very clear. See the link:

Most parish websites I've seen usually show what jurisdiction it belongs to or who their bishop is.

Nonetheless if it is legit, then glory to God! I'm all for the spread of Orthodoxy in warm tropical places!

 

[Mary of Bethany]

Looks legit. It says Fr. Martin Ritsi of the OCMC served the Liturgy there recently.

Glory to God!

Mary

Fr. Athanassy goes there kinda often. i drove him to the airport once for it ... it's hard to beat Fr. Athanassy and his miraculous icon of St. Anna!

I think Greg answered this with the link, but Its on Ramrod Key, about 25miles inland of Key West. The link says its currently off US 1, but they are moving to a new location on US1. I actually wondered if it was legit as well. The name sounded a littl different and their new home use to be a night club or som thing. I bEt they are I'll mak it beautiful befor th y mov in. Sorry for the typos. These ar all cell phone posts!
