Welcome To Our Parish!

We are an Orthodox church in the Inverness, Florida community. We are pleased to offer a place in Citrus County and the surrounding areas for  people of all backgrounds to come and worship according the ancient apostolic Christianity preserved in the Orthodox faith.

If you are new to Orthodoxy and would like to learn more about the faith handed down once and for all by Jesus’ disciples please come and visit us.

Our Parish is named for St. Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, the first Orthodox Bishop in North America.  He founded 30 parishes uniting people of multiple ethnic backgrounds and remaining faithful to the timeless truths of the Christian faith.
