The first Divine Liturgy was celebrated on Sunday, October 24, 1907 by Very Rev. Alexander Hotovitzky (who later died for the faith in Soviet Russia). The history of the Orthodox community in Jersey City prior to 1907 is vague. For instance, there was a charter issued on December 10, 1889 for the Saints Peter and Paul Brotherhood; its ledger is in the parish archive as well as several legders documenting finances of the Brotherhood and its membership. The parish archive has a photo of the Very Rev. Alexander Hotovitzky pictured with the Brotherhood at an outdoor social in 1908.Original file name Father H -2 (2).jpeg3600 x 2800Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
