We are a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), within the South East Deanery of the Diocese of Sourozh. We maintain a full cycle of services, celebrated in English and Church Slavonic. Weekend services are at 5. 30 p. m. on Saturdays (Vigil service) and 10. 30. a. m. on Sunday mornings (Divine Liturgy). In addition, the molieben (service of intercession) with an akthist hymn to our patron saint, St Nicholas the Wonderworker is served every Wednesday at 6. 00 pm. We also celebrate services on major feasts and saints' days, according to the old style (Julian) calendar. All details are on the calendar at our website - www. stnichoas-oxford.org

Our services and church events are open to anyone - Orthodox or not - who would like to come and share in our life of worship and prayer. The Divine Liturgy on Sundays and feasts is followed by a time of fellowship (often with a common meal) to which all are also welcome.
