Parish Council

        The parish community is lead by the parish priest who works together with a council that is elected each year by the congregation at its annual assembly.  These individuals are chosen to lead by example, as many of them spend countless hours working at or for the church and encourage others to do the same.

Parish Choir

        An essential part of Orthodox Christian worship is the role of the choir.  These are the people responsible for leading the people in prayer, responding to the clergy in a "dialogue of prayer."  The parish choir is made-up of young and old, American-born and Romanian-born, and is always accepting new singers who wish to dedicate themselves to rehearsals and offer their talents to the Lord at the Sunday Divine Liturgy and various other services/events throughout the year.

        DIRECTOR - Teodor (Theo) Vingarzan

Parish Cantors

        The cantors also play a vital role in the life of the parish.  They lead the responses at Sunday Matins services, weekday Divine Liturgies, Baptisms, Funerals, Weddings (when the choir is not requested), and other various services throughout the year.

        HEAD CANTOR - Mircea Vasiu
        ASSISTANT CANTORS - Dumitru Capaţina (emeritus), Teodor Vingarzan, Dan Hoarşte

Ladies Auxiliary

        It is said that the women truly are the backbone of the parish.  Since their founding in 1933, their role has evolved just as the role of women in society has changed.  They have gone from working in the kitchen to also working on the council, organizing events & fundraisers and taking a more active role in the life of the parish.  All women who are members of the parish are strongly encouraged to take part in this organization.  The local auxiliary is also a part of the national ladies auxiliary of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate, A.R.F.O.R.A.

A.R.O.Y. Chapter

        The Sts Peter & Paul A.R.O.Y. is a local chapter of The American Romanian Orthodox Youth.  The A.R.O.Y. chapter exists to provide young people with a religious, charitable and social "club" within the parish.  Using their talents and abilities, they contribute to the parish...raising funds, laboring where necessary, working in the community, and participating in the religious life of the Church.  Members are Sunday School students/graduates and are expected to be good examples of Orthodox Christians.

Men's Club

        Seeing a need to provide a social and charitable group for the men of the parish, this group was formed.  Although it struggles at times to attract new and younger members, these dedicated men regularly assist the parish wherever and whenever possible.  From making sausage, to ushering, to making "paşti," these men are ready and willing to assist when called upon.

Sunday School

        One of the most important and delicate roles the Church has is to educate the children in their Orthodox Faith.  The Sunday School program at this parish has anywhere from 80-100 enrolled students annually.  Ages range from preschool through high school.  A group of dedicated teachers volunteer their time and talents (and a bit of patience too) so that each child has the opportunity to grow spiritually as a child of God.  This, however, can only be accomplished with the cooperation and encouragement of the parents.

Adult Study Group

        The English language Adult Study Class programs are a joint effort between our parish and our neighbor, St. Paul Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox Church.  Offered weekly at various times throughout the year (each series meeting for approximately 6 weeks), the parish priests of both parishes lead sessions discussing various themes assigned to each session (Sacraments, Scripture, etc).  Adult Study Classes are also offered occasionally throughout the year in the Romanian language, also dealing with various specified topics.
