Founders of the True Orthodox Hungarian Mission

Our first mission in Hungary began with the dedication of a married couple of Hungary – Istvan and Alexia Nemeth. This young husband and wife founded the Chapel of Saint Thomas the Apostle (information on the chapel

This is the first True Orthodox chapel in Hungary, and it belongs to the Western European Diocese of the Russian True Orthodox Church. In 2019 it was built with the aim to help the evangelization of the Hungarian people who, up until now, were exposed only to a watered-down or distorted form of Christianity and did not have the opportunity to be in contact with True Orthodoxy, the ancient and original form of Christianity. With the construction of this little chapel, it has been made possible that even in Hungary the people can regularly participate in the Holy and Lifegiving Sacraments of the Church, first and foremost in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. For the moment there is only a very small group of True Orthodox faithful living in Hungary, but till now they have started the first Orthodox internet blog in the country, called “Orthodox Faith” ortodoxhit.blogspot.com, that deals with Orthodox spirituality and where they publish important works of various Saints and Orthodox writers that previously were unavailable in the Hungarian language. This year they have published in a small booklet the Life and Akathist of Saint Thomas Apostle and a book of Fr. Seraphim Rose – God’s revelation to the Human Heart (the first book of the author in the Hungarian language). We hope that with God’s help this little True Orthodox Mission will be able to spread the Orthodox Gospel of God in Hungary and establish a firm foundation for the future generation.
