Christ is Ascended! ☦️

Håfa Adai & Tirow!

The Holy Virgin of Vladimir Russian Orthodox Church in Saipan warmly invites all Orthodox Christians, catechumens, inquirers, and friends to join us for our upcoming divine services in the Northern Mariana Islands.

As the first Orthodox Christian church in the Northern Mariana Islands, our small but growing community is dedicated to bringing the ancient Christian faith of the Apostles to the Mariana Islands through prayer, worship, fellowship, and missionary outreach.

This year we joyfully celebrate our parish feast day in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, one of the most beloved miracle-working icons in Orthodox Christianity.

Whether you are Orthodox, searching for the ancient Christian faith, or simply curious to learn more, you are welcome to come and pray with us.

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen! ☦️

Welcome to the official page of The Orthodox Christian Church of Saipan, the first Eastern Orthodox Christian church in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Our Christian community is placed under the heavenly protection of the Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, in honor of her miraculous Icon of Vladimir.

We are a small but growing Orthodox Christian community serving Saipan and the Mariana Islands through prayer, worship, fellowship, and the ancient faith handed down from the Apostles.

As we begin this page, we ask your prayers for all those throughout the Mariana Islands as our islands continue recovering from Super Typhoon Sinlaku and the hardships left in its wake. Many families and communities continue to face challenges as they rebuild and recover in the days and months ahead.

Please remember all those affected in your prayers. If you feel moved to assist ongoing relief efforts, you may do so here:

Even in times of hardship, we are reminded that Christ is present. As Orthodox Christians, we are called to bear one another’s burdens, to care for one another, and to become a light in moments of darkness.

The Church has always been a place of hope in times of suffering. We ask you to remember all those affected in your prayers.

As our Lord teaches us:

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these My brethren, you did for Me.”

May the Lord strengthen all who are suffering, and may the Most Holy Theotokos spread her protecting veil over the Mariana Islands.

With love in the Risen Christ,

Father Nectarios Yangson, Rector
Holy Virgin of Vladimir Orthodox Church
Saipan, CNMI ☦️
