Welcome

St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church of Minnesota, was founded over 40 years ago to serve the spiritual needs of a growing community of Coptic (Egyptian) Orthodox Christians. With great pleasure, we will hold our sixth annual festival on the last weekend of August—August 27th and 28th, 2011!

Come join us as we share our Coptic Christian heritage and culture with you. This year’s festival is special in that it will include presentations on the current events in Egypt. We hope to give our attendees an Egyptian-Christian perspective on the January 25th revolution and the occurrences preceding and following it. Our festival will have a cultural program includes movies, slide presentations, church tours, and church choir music free of charge. The festival also includes exhibits and sale of books, artifacts and jewelry, bakery sales and great Egyptian food. There are activities for children, and a lively and fun atmosphere for all!
