About Saint Mary's
Saint Mary’s church was founded in the southern West Virginia coalfields at the beginning of the last century by immigrant coal miners from Eastern Europe, particularly from the Carpathian region of present-day Ukraine and Slovakia. In 2000, the parish held its first services in its new location in Bluefield.
We are located above US Route 460, just west of the US Route 52 intersection. Travellers coming from I-77 North or South alike should follow US 52 (John Nash Blvd.) to US 460, then exactly half a mile after merging onto 460 West, turn left at the blue and white sign. The church is on the left when coming from I-77.
The congregation now includes Orthodox worshippers of every ethnic heritage and converts from other faiths. All are welcome!
