History

The Taxiarchai Chapel of Yonkers, New York is the chapel of Saint Michael's Home, a residential care facility for the elderly operated by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It serves as the spiritual home of the residents of Saint Michael's Home and the Orthodox faithful who minister to them, offering the ancient liturgical and sacramental life of the Orthodox Church within the context of a community dedicated to the care and dignity of older adults.

 

The chapel is dedicated to the Taxiarchai, the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, the Commanders of the heavenly hosts whose feast day is celebrated on November 8. The dedication connects the chapel to the broader mission of Saint Michael's Home, whose own name honors the Archangel Michael, patron and protector of the faithful and the heavenly intercessor traditionally invoked for the sick and those in need of care.

 

Saint Michael's Home itself is one of the most significant philanthropic institutions of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, providing residential care for elderly Orthodox Christians in a setting informed by the values and traditions of the Orthodox faith. The Taxiarchai Chapel stands at the spiritual center of that community, offering regular Divine Liturgy and the sacramental life of the Church to the residents of the Home and their families.

 

The Taxiarchai Chapel at Saint Michael's Home at 3 Lehman Terrace in Yonkers serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of the Saint Michael's Home community as a chapel of the Direct Archdiocesan District of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
