Building Fund

Our church structure is more than 160 years old and as such is in constant need of repair and renovation. Our Building Fund subsidizes the ongoing upkeep, and your donation could ensure that our building is well-maintained for many decades to come.

Donations to St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral could boost our Operating Fund that subsidizes the liturgical needs of this Philadelphia Parish, including the purchase of candles, vestments, banners, cloths, incense and icons.

Our professional Patriarchal Choir is essential to the celebration of Divine Liturgy and various liturgical services. We have established a Choir Fund to ensure that the beautiful voices of the Choir have a future.

Help Ukraine Fund

Vicar Bishop Luke is fundraising to help the people of Ukraine – and has blessed the Cathedral Council to solicit and receive monetary donations to be used for food, clothes, amenities and medical supplies for the Ukrainian people. Please DONATE using your credit card. Or you can send your check, payable to the Vicariate of the UOC-KP, to the Vicariate Office at 820 Hoffman Place, Philadelphia, PA 19123. Cash and checks are also accepted at the Cathedral Candle Room window on Sundays. Bishop Luke and the Council will keep you updated on when the funds will be transferred to our trusted representatives in Ukraine – and exactly how the funds will be used. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY. God bless you and the people of Ukraine.

Our charitable efforts also assist the needy -- at home and across the world. We have a Benevolent Fund to cover the cost of shipping tons of used clothing and amenities to the disadvantaged abroad, particularly in Ukraine.

By donating to the Endowment Fund, you make a long-term investment in St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral.  Your contribution is invested in mutual funds administered by a professional money manager.  The Endowment Fund ensures sustainability of the Church and a stable financial position years down the road.   Funds can only be distributed after approval by the Endowment Committee, comprised of five Church members who are responsible stewards of your gift.
