Reverend Father Djokan Majstorovic was born September 23 1962 in Vlasenica, Republic of Srpska to father Branislav and mother Mara. In his birthplace he received the basic education.

Subsequently, Fr. Djokan went to the well respected Theological seminary in Monastery Krka. He graduated from the seminary in the summer of 1982. In 1984 he began advanced studies at the Theological College in Belgrade and graduated in 1989.

Upon graduation Fr. Djokan went to Great Britain to study the English language. While in Birmingham, England, Fr. Djokan put his theological education to work by serving as an administrator in the Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint Prince Lazar - Lazarica. His responsibilities as an administrator included helping with the Divine services, religious studies for children and the church publications.

Fr. Djokan married Mirjana Andjelkovic in Birmingham in l99l. Because of the war in Yugoslavia they could not return for Fr.Djokan to serve as a priest in Zagreb-Ljubljana Diocese where he was assigned first. He was ordained to the Holy Diaconate while still in England and with his wife Mirjana, son Savo and daughter Marta, travelled to the United States in l996 to become the priest at the St.George Serbian Orthodox Church in Masontown, Pennsylvania.

By God's help and mercy Fr. Djokan served the faithful of Masontown for two and a half years. During his tenure as priest at the St.George Church, the parish experienced a steady period of growth and Fr. Djokan with his family was well-loved and respected.

While Fr. Djokan was serving in Masontown, the needs of the Church in New York City required a new priest. Knowing Father Djokan's solid theological background and having witnessed his good work in Masontown, His Grace Bishop MITROPHAN, Bishop of the Eastern American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, called upon Father Djokan to take up the spiritual leadership of the Cathedral of Saint Sava in New York City. The Reverend Djokan Majstorovic assumed responsibilities as Dean of the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral effective January l6, l999.
