Our church

A word of welcome

A Coptic cross, its four arms filled with gold and blue interlace and inscribed in Coptic: "Jesus Christ, the Son of God".

We are glad you found us. This is a Coptic Orthodox church in Wayland, and the Divine Liturgy is the heart of our week — the feasts and the fasts, Sunday school, the prayers said for the sick all grow out of it.

Sunday morning is the best time to find us, and the fathers are always happy to say hello.
