About Us
Established in 2015 by the ever-memorable Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral), St. John Orthodox Church is a mission of the St. Nicholas Skete and is located in Freehold, NJ. After the Metropolitan's passing in 2022, leadership transitioned to the very reverend Father Eutychius Dovgan. Father Eutychius is also the Igumen (abbot) of the St. Nicholas Skete.
We are actively raising funds for the construction of a new church building in Freehold as well as for the construction of guest quarters for pilgrims visiting our monastic community.
