Holy Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God Orthodox Christian Church is a local parish of God's Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church ("the Orthodox Church"), the mother Church of all Christianity, and the native Church of the Holy Land and other lands of the Bible (Jerusalem, Antioch, Egypt, Asia Minor, Cyprus, Greece, etc.), 

The Orthodox Church is known in its official documents as the "Church of God" and as the "Orthodox Catholic Church"; or in longer form, the "Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church."  

Holy Protection is a Pan-Orthodox parish of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the United States of America, a jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.  Being "Pan-Orthodox" means that we have people of various ethnicities and incorporate legitimate practices of various local Orthodox traditions familiar to our members, giving homage to our combined roots.
