Draft:List of Serbian Orthodox parishes in the United States


List of Serbian Orthodox parish-churches in the United States. The Serbian Orthodox Church in North, Central and South America is canonically and hierarchically an integral part of the Serbian Orthodox Church (Patriarchate) in Belgrade, Serbia. The Serbian Orthodox Church of America is often reffered to in North America as the Serbian National Church.[1] In the 19th century, originally all Serbs, Russians, Syrians, Greeks and other co-religionist newcomers were under the care of the Russian Orthodox Church,[2]. In 1920 the Serbian Orthodox Christian immigrants were granted their own jurisdiction under the Patriarchate of Peć in Belgrade (Kingdom of Serbia) once the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church took refuge in Europe after the October Revolution. When the government-in-exile of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was usurped in World War II, internal conflicts divided the Serbian Orthodox faithful during the Cold War (1963-1991) until all sides reunited again under the Mother Church. The Serbian Orthodox Church in the United States of America saw significant growth between 1963 and 2022. The recent 2022 Serbian and Macedonian reconciliation, increased the number of our parishes throughout the Diaspora. Considering that in the 1960s the Serbian dioceses had 90 parishes across the U.S. and by 2022, that number had increased to more than 250. Also, the Serbian Orthodox Church in Serbia as well as in the diaspora is famed for their many monasteries. In the U.S.A. SOC has more monasteries 'per capita' under its jusrisdiction than any other Orthodox national church, including OCA.

There are now three U.S.A. dioceses:

and an affiliate:

With immigration today it is not inconceivable to find Serbian communities in a city or town in practically every state of the United States of America. Serbian honorary consulates are found in the most densely populated (California, Ohio, Louisiana) and least populated (Montanta, Wyoming, Colorado) regions. Today, the Serbian Orthodox Church in the United States of America has grown exponantially with hundreds of churches, chapels, sketes, monasteries, faith-based organizations, and communities. Here is a list of most of them:

MONTANA

edit

Serbs looking for work arrived in mining towns very early on in the 1900s. The Smith Mine disaster near Bearcreek, Montana took the lives of 77 men of all nationalities on 27 February 1943. The first recorded group of Serbian settlers came to Montana and settled in Butte, "the city with the richest hill on earth", owing to its rich, copper resources. In 1983 dismal news fell on the famed Anaconda Company once it shut down, closing its last mine operation in the Serb hub of the Northwest. Yet the out-migration which continued for several more decades affected little the permananent, original number that settled the city and inspired the next generation to construct a church with scalloped copper domes at Continental Divide and St. Ann streets, their pride and joy. Butte Serbians are also consicious of their rich fraternal lodge history.

Mutual-benefit societies such as Serb-Montenegrin Charitable Society (1906)[117][118], Srpsko Hercegovinian Society (1899), Serbian Benevolent Society, Serb National Federation, Montenegrin Literary Society (1920), Serbian Benevolent Society Bokelian Brotherhood (1914), Drushtvo Lodge (1940), Prosveta Lodge, and Lovchen Lodge served as a foundation for a nation-wide Serbian network at the time.[119]

Serbs began to immigrate to Omaha in the 19th century, and had an established presence within the city by the early 20th century. Serbian immigrants established the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Omaha in 1917, which remains today and caters to the local community.[124] In 1927, the Serbian-American orchestra "Soko" was founded by Serbian resident George Kachar in Omaha, and it toured Serbian enclaves from Kansas City to Duluth.[125][126]

In Tonopah and Goldfield, where Serbs helped lay the rails that linked the towns to the California coast, were both precious metals centers at the turn of the 20th century, today, however, is a story largely buried in the community cemetery. Now there are only remnants to be glimpsed of their halls, saloons and hillside homes. Plus an occasional soul to talk to about the past.

NEW MEXICO

edit

From 1880 to 1910, mine accidents claimed thousands of fatalities, with more than 3,000 in 1907 alone.[139]In 1906, Phelps Dodge acquired the Dawson Fuel Company of Dawson, New Mexico to mine coal for its copper smelting operations. Major accidents include the explosion at the Dawson Stag Canyon #2 mine, near the town of Lauretta, which resulted in 264 deaths, and is one of the deadliest coal mining accidents in U.S. history. But that didn't stop newcomers from overseas to seek work wherever they could find, no matter how dangerous the job. In order to atttract immigrant workers to their remote location, Dodge Phelps Corporation funded the construction of houses for miners, along with facilities, including a hospital, department stores, swimming pool and recreation centre, movie theatre, and a golf course. Many of the miners were recent newcomers. After the mining operations became obsolete, the townfolk went on to move to bigger cities in the state or elsewhere.

Once the new arrivals disembarked from their Immigrant ships and went passed U.S. Customs at Ellis Island, many boarded trains for Pennsylvania heading towards the coal region. That region was typically defined as comprising five Pennsylvania counties, Carbon County, Lackawanna County, Luzerne County, Northumberland County, and Schuylkill County. In the last decade's census it was home to almost a million people.[171]

Later, the building was demolished and the land was incorported into the city cemetery. However, the bell in the church tower was salvaged and installed in the belfry of the Holy Ascension Church of Sacramento, California, built in the late 1950s.

Organized Serbian religious life in Utah thereafter withered away for many years.

Salt Lake City

edit

Serbians in Utah were dominant in their numbers and renowned for the many disasters, man-made and otherwise, they endured with unusual stoicism and fortitude. Some 2,000 of them were settled in the industrial areas around Salt Lake City. Four times they were left uprooted by fire, snow slide, strike activity, then forced sale in the harsh climate they called home in the arid Juniper-covered mountains around Helper, Midvale and Bingham Canyon. These Serbs were harrased, oppresed, ridiculed and resented, along with other immigrants who spoke little or no English. Yet they had paved the way for unionism in the area, and some of their businessmen, themselves emerged from the mining towns and mills, are now numbered among the most noted citizens in Utah history. With the end of hostilities in 1945, a new wave of newcomers settled in Utah, most of whom were much better educated than all the previous arrivals.

This new wave of religious, political and economic immigrants from former Yugoslavia moved to Salt Lake City, and the St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church was re-established at 1606 1000 West in the city in 1997[206]. In 2006, after almost ten years of struggles, the parish purchased a building with the intention of providing a place for church services, cultural and other communal activities. One of the descendents of the early Midvale settlers from turn of the twentieth century, 98-year-old Sofia Piedmont Lovrich, heard about the parish. She then began attending church services and in 2010 in her Will and testament she left enough money to pay off the mortgage on the church building. Today, there are approximately 100 Serbian families living and working in Utah.

Newport News

edit
  • The Serbian community in the Norfolk area, better known as Hampton Roads, is comprised of about forty families. The faithful there attend the Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Newport News. The community is made up by almost entirely of Serbs who fled from the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. The Serbian Orthodox Church is actively working to develop this into a mission parish.

WASHINGTON

edit

Local Serbian communities from Pennsylvania to Washington, through their churches, lodges, and cultural organizations (centers), contributed to a larger national community that linked the Serbian diaspora together. Mutual benefit societies served as a foundation for a nationwide Serbian network.

Seattle

edit
  • "Holy Protection Of The Theotokos" Serbian Orthodox Church, 830 S. Thistle St., Seattle, Washington. In 1895 Seattle Serbs would join with other Eastern Orthodox co-religionists to worship with a travelling cleric until the time that they were able to erect their own church[211]

Roslyn and Republic

edit

the late 19th- and early 20th-century was sprawling homesteads of pioneer days in coal mining towns of Roslyn and Republic where Serbs from Montenegro and other parts of the Balkan Penninsula worked. By 1912, many gave up coal mining for homesteading while others left for the Old Country to fight the Turk. Today only the cemetery, once operated by a Serbian lodge, bespeaks of their presence.

WEST VIRGINIA

edit

West Virginia attracted many Serbian miners at the turn of the 20th century where a few perished at the Monongah mining disaster on 6 December 1907.

Fairmont

Weirton

edit
  • Since 1969, members of the Men's Club of the Steubenville's Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Church have gathered at the Serbian Picnic Grounds along King's Creek outside of Weirton, West Virginia, when event services are held.
  • Serbian Orthodox Cemetery, Greenbrier Road, Weirton, West Virginia[214]

The Serbian church once owned a piece of property along the Root River in the town of Franklin but the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District purchased it in 2012 as part of a program to buy and protect the Root River's floodplain

West Allis

edit

A Serbian community flourished in West Allis, Wisconsin during the time of the establishment of the Allis-Chalmers Corporation at the turn of the 20th century. They even had a church, now defunct.

Greenfield

edit

American Serb Memorial Hall, Inc., 4658 South 43rd Street, Greenfield, Wisconsin, also served as a place of worship during event gatherings.[219]

Mount Pleasant

WYOMING

edit

In 1868, the Union Pacific Railroad opened the first coal mine in Carbon County, the county being was named for its extensive coal deposits.[221], and with the publicity the avalanche of immigration proceeded. Today, indicative of a still considerable Serbian presence are logos found on trucks (for example, the Vinich Brothers oil field contractors) and the few Serbian families still in the area between Lander and Rock Springs still engage in the cattle business.

Hudson

edit

A lodge branch of the Serb National Federation (SNF)[222] exists in Hudson, Wyoming as a social and cultural home with a worship room. Serbian names dominate a World War II memorial plaque in the Hudson town park. Among the most notable figures in Wyoming was John Vinich, a State Senator, and a Democratic party candidate in the latter part of the 20th century. His maternal grandfather Janko Vujnovich worked in the Wyoming coal mines in 1905. Janko had three years of seminarian studies which he put to good use as an organizer of the annual Vidovdan dramatic plays put on in various mining camps for patriotic purposes during World War I. He was also a veteran of the Great War. So far, the Wyoming Serbs are counted among the member parishioners of the Butte, Montana church, and so are those at Kellogg, Idaho.
