History
Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church of Vallejo, California traces its origins to 1945, when the first Greek immigrants to the Vallejo area purchased the plot of land at 1224 Alabama Street where the parish stands to this day. Vallejo, situated at the northern end of San Francisco Bay and home to the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, drew workers and families from across the country during and after World War II, and the Greeks who settled there wasted little time in establishing a spiritual home for their community.
From those Greek immigrant roots, the parish has grown into a multi-ethnic community whose services are conducted primarily in English with some hymns chanted in ancient Greek, reflecting the breadth of Orthodox Christians from many backgrounds who have found their home at Saints Constantine and Helen. The parish is conveniently located for visitors making their way to or from the wine country of Napa Valley, and its tradition of Hellenic hospitality, philoxenia, welcomes all who stop to light a candle or attend a service.
Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church at 1224 Alabama Street in Vallejo serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of Solano County and the greater North Bay as a parish of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
