HOLY RESURRECTION ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL is a parish community of the Diocese of Philadelphia & Eastern Pennsylvania of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). Our bishop, Archbishop MARK (Maymon), provides spiritual oversight for our community.  In the Archbishop's absence, Fr. Timothy Cremeens, serves as pastor. The parish community was founded in 1892 by Fr. Alexis Toth (now a canonized saint in the Orthodox Church).

Holy Resurrection Cathedral exists for the sole purpose of worshiping and glorifying Almighty God; the Father, the Son Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit. It confesses & proclaims the Orthodox Christian Faith which was "once and for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 3) Our Faith is that faith which was given by Jesus Christ to His Apostles and was and is preserved by the Martyrs, the Saints and all the Faithful, living and departed. We believe that the Gospel (GOOD NEWS) of Jesus presents the possibility of a life in which we are set free from those things (sins, habits, addictions, attitudes) which bind us, and sets us free to be who God created us to be. Accepting the Gospel gives us the ability to receive the Holy Spirit, Who then empowers us to live this New life in Christ. In the person of Jesus Christ, God, the Creator of the Universe, came down to earth and took on our human flesh and became man, uniting His divinity to our humanity, in order to raise our humanity to His divinity. He conquered death, hell and the grave by rising from the dead after He suffered, died and was buried. By believing in, and placing our faith and trust in what Jesus Christ Himself, and what He did for us, we are SAVED!

All those who believe in Him and have been joined to Him through Holy Baptism and participate in the celebration of His blood poured out, and His body broken for us, comprise the Community of Faith, the Orthodox Church. We are not perfect people, but we have found peace, joy and hope in following Jesus Christ and we invite you to come and experience the love & presence of Jesus Christ with us!
