Our History
Holy Brancoveanu Martyrs ROC is a parish in the Romanian Orthodox Metropolia of the Americas under his Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae. The parish was established in 2016 to serve the needs of the growing Romanian Orthodox Community in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
As first, second & third generation Romanians, we are a welcoming, bilingual community eager to share our Orthodox faith, language, and traditions with all who attend and join us in prayer.
The parish has been named after Romanian Orthodox Christian martyrs (Prince Constantin and his 4 sons – Constantin, Stefan, Radu, Matei and his treasurer Enache Vacarescu), who were beheaded in 1714 in Constantinople for their refusal to renounce Christianity and join the Islamic religion. They are commemorated in the Romanian Orthodox Church on August 16th. More about these martyrs can be found here in English and in Romanian.
