Parish Leadership

Reverend father nicholas livingston

Father Nicholas Livingston was born in the coastal town of Santa Cruz, CA, and grew up there with his parents and two older siblings. He was always involved in the life of the church, beginning as an altar server and eventually learning to chant in his teenage years. After first pursuing a degree in kinesiology and physiology, he moved cross-country, graduating from Hellenic College with a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies in 2012 and from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology with a Master’s of Divinity in 2017.

Upon his graduation from seminary, Fr. Nicholas was assigned as the pastoral assistant at the parish of St. Spyridon Cathedral in Worcester, MA. He was ordained by His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios of Boston as a deacon on March 7th, 2018, and as a priest on March 11th, 2018, and continued to serve at the parish of St. Spyridon as the assistant priest.

In November of 2020, Fr. Nicholas was called to serve as proistamenos of St. Philip Greek Orthodox Church in Nashua, NH. After two years there, he was assigned to our community in Woburn, MA.

Fr. Nicholas is married to his wife Nikoletta, whom he met while at Hellenic College. Nikoletta works as an occupational therapist with teenage students at Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, MA.

Parish Council

The Parish Council is the lay leadership arm of the community, working in collaboration with the parish priest to oversee and execute all ministries and events. The Council works, together with the priest of our community, to guide the parish according to Charter and Uniform Parish Regulations (UPR) as set forth by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

All parishioners who are committed to meeting the needs of the Church are invited to run for election to the Parish Council. The Parish Council ought to be a representative sample of the parish, with every demographic represented: women, men; single, married; young or old.

Serving on the Parish Council is primarily a ministry, which tasks those who serve to represent Christ and the Orthodox Christian Church in all aspects of life, in addition to embracing a leadership role in the community.
