TROPARION OF ALL SAINTS
"Throughout the world Thy Church,
O Lord,
Is adorned with the blood of Thy Martyrs,
As with purple and fine linen;
Through them, She cries unto Thee,
O Christ:
Send down Thy bounties upon Thy people;
Grant peace to Thine estate,
And upon our souls the great mercy."
Service Schedule
The saints were people like all of us. Many of them came out of great sins,
but by REPENTENCE they attained the Kingdom of Heaven.

- St. Silouan the Athonite
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
All Saints Orthodox Christian Church is a parish part of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America, part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOCANA), under His Eminence, the Most Reverend Saba Esper, Archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of the AOCANA.
Our Patriarch is His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of the Holy City of Antioch and all the East, whose see (or ecclesiastical office) is based in Damascus, Syria.
​
After meeting together starting in 1993, All Saints Orthodox Church of Salina was founded in 1994 by a vibrant group of faithful followers of Christ from an area Episcopal church who were seeking the fullness of the apostolic faith under the pastoral guidance of Fr. Chad Hatfield and Fr. Thomas Neustrom.
​
At the start, our then bishop, Bishop Basil (now retired), said we should be named All Saints because we will need the prayers of all of the saints to survive as a parish.
Nearly 30 years later, our parish family continues to serve as the spiritual home for Orthodox Christians from Salina and the surrounding area, and communities up to two or more hours drive away.
We are under the authority of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. After gaining approval on Oct. 18, 2022, on Nov. 1, 2022, Bishop Basil Essey officially retired. We are waiting for a new Bishop to be chosen for the diocese.
​
Our family-friendly parish is guided by our presiding priest and spiritual father, Fr. Elias Boulos of St. Basil the Great Orthodox Christian Church in Kansas City, Kansas.
All are welcome!
