Rev. Fr. Innocent Neal, Rector

Fr. Innocent Neal, Matuska Melanie, Ephraim, Andrew, and Sebastian were formally assigned to Holy Trinity on October 1st, 2018 by His Eminence Archbishop Mark. Fr. Innocent and his family are familiar faces in NEPA as they were previously at St. Tikhon’s Monastery where Fr. Innocent was the Bookstore and Press Manager. During that time he was also the rector of Sts. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Union Dale, PA. Fr. Innocent is a 2005 graduate of St. Tikhon’s Seminary where he received his Masters of Divinity. After graduation, he moved to Atlanta GA to serve as a Reader, Catechist, and Assistant Administrator at his home parish, St. John the Wonderworker. During that time he met his wife Melanie, and had their first son Ephraim before returning to St. Tikhon’s in 2014. The Neal family is excited to be in Wilkes-Barre and a part of the Holy Trinity Community. “We immediately felt at home here at Holy Trinity and are excited about the future of our community.”, said Fr. Innocent. “We look forward to getting to know and spend time with everyone in the parish!”
