What this site is for
We help people discover Eastern Orthodox Christianity, prepare for a first visit, and find local parishes. We are not the official website of every parish listed, nor do we speak on behalf of every Orthodox jurisdiction.
How we use sources
We prioritize official jurisdictions, dioceses, and parish websites. Directory entries were checked against the linked sources on November 12, 2026. Those pages can contain older information; confirm service times, accessibility, and travel details directly with the parish.
The directory covers the Rhode Island Eastern Orthodox parishes we verified through those sources. It is not a directory of all churches that use the word “Orthodox.” Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches have distinct ecclesial identities and are outside its scope.
