RSO - Orthodox Christian Fellowship

Open to all Orthodox students, our services and discussions are focused primarily on Eastern Orthodox practices. Rev. Fr. Dionysios Koulianos of St. George Cathedral in Springfield, MA and Rev. Fr. Thomas J. Cokotis, Economos of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Holyoke, MA are our Spiritual Fathers and Advisors who hold services and discussions for us periodically throughout the academic year at the Newman Center. 

Our objective is to bear witness to the Orthodox Christian faith by fostering a pleasant and helpful environment where collegiate Orthodox Christians and those interested in the Orthodox Faith will be free to practice and grow in their love for God and for one another through prayer, community life, service to others, and studies and discussions of the Faith.

We foster a supportive environment for students who are far from their home parishes and families and need a spiritual community to help overcome the challenges of college, being away from home and the pressures of society. 

In addition to attending Divine Liturgy and Small Compline services, we have a variety of activities for everyone! From rollerblading at Interskate 91 and going to the movie theaters, to making lunches for the Springfield Rescue Mission and going on a Meal Search in downtown Amherst, there are many ways for members to be involved.

We are also currently partnerning with other established Christian groups on campus to host joint services and community service events to help us all grow in our Faith.
