Unfortunately not every one is listed, but it has been an extensive effort to get non-Orthodox countries’ parishes listed by an array of people including myself.
The main trick is just to keep it updated, easier said then done with the world moving so fast!

Interesting, not super sure I could make it tho

UK & Ireland Orthodox

02 Jul 2025 17:52

I found one, it’s not an issue at all

UK & Ireland Orthodox

02 Jul 2025 17:51

Currently the parish I go to is a mission, so I’m not sure if it is listed or not

UK & Ireland Orthodox

02 Jul 2025 17:51

not super far away from Houston

UK & Ireland Orthodox

02 Jul 2025 17:50

What area are you in? I've found that many churches aren't listed because they're missions or monasteries.

UK & Ireland Orthodox

02 Jul 2025 17:31

I believe they have land closer, probably 10-15 minutes closer?

And it by passes the family who is picking me up from having to go on one of the roads before they get to my house, which is under construction right now and is terrible

It’s not really how far away it is (I believe this one is the closest one for now), although mainly that typically about the time I would be dropped off, my dad is typically in the other direction for stuff
