Welcome to Holy Resurrection Museum

Resurrection Romanian Orthodox Church (Invierea) was founded in 1917 as a place whereTransylvanian immigrants could worship together in their common language. Today, as Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church, it is a melting pot of many cultures, with very few members and their children speaking anything but English.

Our heritage collection visualizes the transition from peasant of Transylvania to citizen of the United States of America--where, over the decades, the bonds of tradition loosened, and it became necessary to come to terms with change. Bearing witness to this need to move on is the rolled-up Romanian tricolor now resting on top of one of the founders’ plaques.

Our museum and library--each a work in progress--were established in 2004 by then-pastor Fr. Eugen Rosu.

The present heritage curator is Mary Popa, a member of the original museum organizing committee, who welcomes items that bring to life our church's past in Warren, Ohio.

The museum and library are open after every Sunday Liturgy and at other times by prior arrangement.
