Invitation to Diocesan Days 2025
The Western American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church cordially invites you to join us for our annual Diocesan Days, to be held on October 11–12, 2025, at St. Stephen Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Los Angeles.
This year’s gathering will be especially joyous, as we will also celebrate the elevation of our beloved Hierarch, His Eminence Archbishop Maxim, Archbishop of Los Angeles and Western America.
In honor of this exceptional occasion, we will host a special gala event, banquet, and ceremonies alongside our Diocesan program. This will be a historic moment in the life of our Diocese, bringing together faithful and guests from across the United States and from Serbia.
We warmly invite you to mark your calendars and make every effort to attend. All are welcome to come, honor, and celebrate our Archbishop on this blessed occasion.
With joy in Christ,Western Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind”
