Welcome to Our Parish!
Dear friends, welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found our website. Whether you’re looking for a church home, curious about Orthodox Christianity, or just passing through Sea Cliff, we’re happy you’re here. We’re a small, friendly parish where everyone is family.

Please explore our website to learn more about us, and even better – come visit us in person! We’d love to meet you, answer any questions you might have, and welcome you into our community. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you’ll find open doors and open hearts here.

Take part in a Sea Cliff tradition, come to our annual Christmas bazaar! It will be in our parish hall on Saturday, December 6th from noon to 4 p.m. You’ll be able to buy delicious home-made borscht and pirogi, and you can round out your meal with a wonderful choice of home-made desserts.
With the holidays fast approaching, it’s not too early to start thinking of holiday presents for everyone on your list – we have vintage and craft items, lacquer boxes, jewelry, and many other gift items.
You can also view the church, which was founded in 1942 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The church is located at 2 Willow Shore Avenue, off Littleworth Lane, in Sea Cliff. The bazaar information line is 516 468-1579. Come and enjoy our bazaar!
ABOUT THE CHURCH
The history of the Church of Our Lady of Kazan is closely bound to the history and development of Sea Cliff and the Russian community that settled there years ago. In the 1920s this community numbered only two or three families; by the 1960s it had grown to about two hundred families who attended the Church of Our Lady of Kazan or one of two other Sea Cliff area churches. For the Church of Our Lady of Kazan this growth was reflected in the church building itself, which began as a simple chapel in a small garage and has been transformed into a structure with dignified lines and stately appearance.
DONATE
All general donations to the Church of Our Lady of Kazan are tax-deductible and are used to support the church’s daily operations and community-based activities.
