Orthodox parish of St. Matrona of Moscow (the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad) bought the building, the community told Interfax-Religion on Tuesday.

“We prayed in a modest rented premises almost four years. The Lord crowned our prayers and work with great joy. Now we have our own church, we have to reconstruct it according to the canons of the Russian Orthodox Church, decorate it, fill with prayer, beauty and grandeur of Orthodox spirit,” parochial rector Archimandrite Alexandre (Belya) said after the prayer service in the church.

The church complex also includes a kindergarten, a Sunday school, a canteen and a library.

It will be the biggest Orthodox church in Florida.

According to various estimations, from 100 to 200 thousands of Russian-speaking Americans live in Miami and neighboring counties.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
