Our Heritage and Mission
Founded in 1950 by Russian émigrés, our parish is part of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), and our ruling bishop is His Grace, Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America. Our founders, who worked at the Army Language School (now the Defense Language Institute) in Monterey, established our community in order to preserve and celebrate the Russian Orthodox feasts and traditions. Since then, we have grown into a welcoming parish that carries on the Orthodox Faith in all its beauty and depth.
A Community United in Worship and Tradition
In the early 1970s, we relocated church building to its present location, surrounded by the tranquility of a nearby park. Nowadays, our services are usually in Church Slavonic, but English Liturgies are served on the even Sundays of each month (and sometimes on weekdays) in order to accommodate everyone. In addition to our congregation, we have a dedicated sisterhood attached to the congregation that supports the church.
Our Founder’s Vision and Mission
Founded by a devoted Orthodox Christian, our parish is committed to preserving the sacred traditions and teachings of the Orthodox Church. Rooted in observance of the Russian Orthodox feasts, we honor the liturgical calendar, celebrating the Divine services that have been served for centuries.
