On February 6, 2025, parishioners from Saint Archangel Michael Church in Saratoga joined fellow parishioners from nearby churches and Saint Archangel Gabriel Church in Ashland, Oregon, to celebrate at the Saint Xenia Serbian Orthodox Skete. Our Western American Diocese is blessed to have Saint Xenia Skete and Saint Herman of Alaska Men’s Monastery in Platina as part of our community.

With heartfelt appreciation for the hospitality extended by Abbess and all the nuns, we say: Holy Mother Xenia, pray to God for us.
