The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America is coordinating a “virtual” Christmas concert to be streamed live via YouTube on Wednesday, December 25th, 2024. All Pastors and Parish Choirs are invited to participate by sending in a pre-recorded video including a greeting by your parish priest.

I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the FOCA annual convention in Akron this Summer.  There was much prayerful discussion at that meeting about the organization's future.  I would like to update you on a project from the past, in hope it will inspire those members who worked so hard to bring it to fruition.

The 97th FOCA Convention was a wonderful gathering of its members and guests in Mogadore (Akron), Ohio from July 26th through the 29th.  As glad as we were to see all participants make it to the event safely, we were just as happy to hear no issues for the safe returns home.

Full Event Agenda as well as the Convention Report Book are now available!
