In about 1980, the parish felt itself outgrowing the building on Warsaw St and began making plans and raising funds for a new temple to be located at 3535 Crescent Ave. This project included a large Fellowship Hall. The cornerstone of the building was laid on September 12, 1983, and the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated by His Grace Bishop Kyrill on November 1, 1983. In December of 1992, at the annual St Nicholas Day banquet, Fr Nedelkoff announced that he was going to retire. The next six months would prove to be a time of great testing for the parish, as we saw a different priest virtually every Sunday. Fr Nedelkoff was truly missed during this period, a time whose difficulty was aggravated by the realization that Orthodox priests were in short supply. In June 1993, Fr Brooks (Thomas) Ledford was assigned as parish priest. During Fr Brooks’ pastorate a number of new ministries were launched including a Charity & Benevolence Ministry, Outreach Ministry, a parish lending library, and a parish bookstore / gift shop. In August 2000, Fr Ledford left for a different assignment, and His Eminence, Archbishop Kyrill assigned Fr David Meinzen to be the new Rector. St Nicholas parish, with gratitude to God in Christ, to the Fathers of the Holy Orthodox Church, and to the Macedonian fathers listed above, looks forward to carrying the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into the twenty-first century.
