This expanded list from All Saints of North America Orthodox Church in Youngtown, Arizona presents 22 glorified saints in North America, and another 20 righteous ones not yet glorified by the Church. Links are provided for further info on nearly all those listed. There is some overlap with the other lists and articles provided below, but this is thought to be the most current and complete compilation of North American saints and righteous ones yet assembled.
- All Saints of North America Resource Page (asna.ca) - An outstanding library of links from All Saints of North America Orthodox Church (OCA) in Hamilton, Ontario, featuring all the OCA resources below (lives, icons, troparia), plus many additional articles about and by these holy saints and righteous ones.
OCA RESOURCES:
- Synaxis of the Saints of North America (oca.org) - An brief but excellent survey of many of the Saints who have shown forth in North America.
- Orthodox Christians in North America, 1794-1994 (oca.org) - This now classic narrative history, written for the Bicentennial of Orthodoxy in North America by Mark Stokoe and Fr. Leonid Kishkovsky, traces the spread of Orthodoxy from the humble monastic missionaries (including St Herman of Alaska and the Monk-Martyr Juvenaly) of 1794 to the immigrant faithful from the traditional Orthodox lands, up through the twentieth century. Online version features easy to navigate table of contents with chapter links.
ADDITIONAL ARTICLES:
- Orthodoxy in America (orthodoxinfo.com) - This unique offering features nearly two dozen articles by revered Orthodox writers such as St. Nikolai Velimirovich, Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Fr. Sebastian Dabovich, Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna CA, Hieromonk Seraphim Rose and others. The common thread is how best to rise to the challenge of living an authentic Orthodox Way of Life in our contemporary American culture and society.
