Summary

Fr. Emmanuel is the rector of St. Katherine Orthodox Chapel in Stowe, Vermont. This beautiful chapel was the first purpose-built Orthodox Church in Vermont. Vermont is known to be one of the least religious state's in the nation, and today we are going to hear the story of how this parish came to be. Some of the questions which will be covered is how the local population received the building of this community, what challenges they faced, and any illustrative anecdotes or stories that happened along the way.
