The Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Parish, Jersey City, New Jersey, was founded on March 25, 1907, by immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires, as a community of the North American Ecclesiastical Mission. It was organized  under the pastoral guidance of the Archpriest Alexander Hotovitsky, who was canonized in 1994, as Missionary to North America and New-Martyr of Russia. The temple in which the parish worships today was consecrated in 1928, by Most Reverend PLATON (Rozhdestvensky), Archbishop of North America and the Aleutian Islands, later Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church of North America. The Saints Peter and Paul Parish is committed to the evangelical mission of the Orthodox Church in America, according to the vision of the Holy Elder and Wonderworker Herman of Alaska, the Holy Apostle to America Innocent, and the Holy Confessor TIKHON (Belavin), Patriarch of All-Russia. Saint Peter and Paul Parish abides under the omophorion of Right Reverend MICHAEL (Dahulich), Bishop of New York and the Diocese of New York and New Jersey.
