Our parish was founded in 1944 by Albanians from the southeastern part of the country, near the city of Korca. The current church building was built in 1961 and the beautiful interior is filled with wonderful icons, including the miraculous Icon of the Blessed Virgin, whose story is found here. Read the full history of our parish here.
A presentation of the book, “Flower of Vlora: Growing up Jewish in Communist Albania”, sponsored by the AANO, Chicago Chapter, will be held on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 2:00 PM in the St. Nicholas Church hall. All are invited to come listen to this fascinating story presented by author Dr. Anna Kohen. There will be a Q & A following the talk and refreshments will be served.
