We are an American Orthodox parish in the Diocese of the West of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) and our services are entirely in English. A growing Christian community of people from various backgrounds, we share a common commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ, to each other and to the Apostolic Faith. Most of us, more than 95% of us, are Orthodox converts, and we warmly welcome families, couples and all those looking for a deeper experience of the salvation offered in Christ our God. Is there a meeting of Heaven and earth? Come and see.

To help the nuns get ready for Winter, the pilgrimage to St Xenia's Skete will take place October 1st through the 4th, organized by Dn Cuthbert. We will be splitting and stacking wood for their stoves to keep them warm during the Winter, along with any other tasks they have. If you have questions, please contact Dn Cuthbert or Mat. Martine. This pilgrimage is a wonderful opportunity to join in community to assist the nuns and to experience a little bit of their life there in the remote mountains of Northern California! In Christ's Love and Service, ~Dn Cuthbert Downs
"There is such a thing as a true American: an honest, forthright, normal person for whom Holy Orthodoxy is quite natural; and the harvest of these true Americans is only beginning."
—St Seraphim Rose
