The church

The beautiful white building is easily noticeable from a distance. It was purpose-built to be a church and gathering place of the community in the early 2000s, and officially consecrated by His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph in 2014. 
​Attached to the church are a large social event hall, which also houses the Bulgarian School "Saint Sophia."
The entrance to all buildings and the large parking lot is just off of Oakton St, on the north side of the street.
