“The whole earth is a living icon of the face of God.”

Welcome!
St. John of Damascus Orthodox Church is a community of people of all ages and backgrounds who come from all over the greater Boston area. We are a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and the Patriarchate of Antioch.
Whether you are currently a parishioner or a catechumen, you are actively exploring Orthodox Christianity, or if visiting this website is the first step of your journey, we invite you to “Come and See” (John 1:39) as we all strive to be living icons of the face of God.

Our Mission
We worship and glorify God, by loving and caring for each other, providing a safe, thriving and life-long home, from which we spread the teaching and good works of our Orthodox Christian Faith. Being God's stewards, we celebrate our faith by:
- participating fully in the sacramental and liturgical life of the church;
- responding to the needs of all by living the message of the Gospel through outreach to each other and to the community at large;
- fostering our God-given talents as stewards to strengthen God's church.
"Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."
Romans 15:7
