Our History |
The church was formed in 1967 and at the time was the first and only Bulgarian Orthodox Church in North America. The church was named after St.John of Rila, the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria. It is a monastery that was built almost 1000 years ago and still to this day is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Bulgaria for its architecture, art and natural beauty.
