Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Mission, Tucson, Arizona

Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church is a beautiful mission parish near downtown Tucson, a city in southern Arizona.

Father John served the faithful in Tucson and the surrounding area in his home Chapel until his repose in November of 2000.
