Orthodox Church in America

The Orthodox

Church in America traces its origins to the arrival in Kodiak, Alaska of eight

Orthodox missionaries from the Valaamo Monastery in the northern Karelia region

of Russia in 1794. The missionaries made a great impact on the native Alaskan

population and were responsible for bringing many to the Orthodox Christian

faith.

Today, the Orthodox Church in America numbers some 700

parishes, missions, communities, monasteries, and institutions throughout the

United States, Canada, and Mexico.
