The presence of a Greek Orthodox church in St Augustine, Florida, is a wonderful and unique blend of history and the rich tradition of the earliest and original Christian church.

The history of Orthodox Christianity goes back to the Apostles of Jesus Christ. The history of Greek immigrants in America dates back to 1768. Though the first colony of Greeks, Minorcans, and Italians ultimately failed, those that survived moved from New Smyrna north to St Augustine. Those Greek residents practiced their faith in various places, including the building that now houses the St. Photios Shrine in the old city area of St Augustine.

As more Greeks moved to north Florida in the 1800s, there was no formal Greek Orthodox church in St Augustine. However, as the number of Greek Orthodox families grew, they organized and incorporated a Hellenic Society which eventually raised enough money to purchase a small church in downtown St Augustine 1976. Looking to the future, the parish purchased property on County Road 214, five miles west of downtown, and built a new church, social hall, and classrooms in 2007.
