By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Cathedral of St. Sava in New York City humbly presents this Web Site to all Christian-Orthodox  faithful, to God-abiding Serbs, and to all those otherwise guided to it by Divine Providence. 

    Our Parish had commenced its holy mission in 1937; in 1940, the Church was registered under the name of "Eastern-Orthodox Church of Saint Sava"; Two years later, the building currently housing the church was purchased from the Episcopal Church, and the building was consecrated in 1944, at which time the Church was named to "Cathedral of St. Sava".

    In its short, yet tempestuous, history, by the Grace of God and His Faithful Servant of St. Sava, our Church had withstood numerous trails and tribulations and  its spire still proudly points to the Manhattan skyline, where from it invites, calls upon, and convenes its flock, urging the faithful into spiritual communion and unity with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, by Divine Grace and through the power of St. Sava's prayers, this magnificent temple - which is a registered historical landmark of the City of New York, as well as the biggest Serbian Orthodox Temple in North America - is being flocked by an ever-growing number of the Serbian Orthodox faithful. The religious Serbs: the young, the educated and the talented, are increasingly gathering around their Church and expressing their desire to reach out to the faithful at large, to help spread the Word of God, and to distribute information and organize social activities via the most modern of methods - the Internet. Likewise, we wish to exchange our spiritual experiences and share our joys and sorrows with All Christian Orthodoxy. To those spiritually lost and bereaved souls, wandering aimlessly and despondently around this big metropolis, we wish to re-introduce Our Holy Mother-Church of St. Sava, which pleads with them, open-armed and teary-eyed: "Return to thy mother, The Church, petition  the Lord with Prayers and embrace the Holy Oath of Kosovo; Brief is this earthly kingdom; The Kingdom of the Lord is unto all eternity".

    In the name of the Interim Church Council and all parishioners of the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Rade Mihajilovic who generously provided the space for this Web Site, and to all those of you without whose infinite dedication and devotion this blessed deed would have been impossible.

We pray to the Lord that our Web Site will be of lasting spiritual value and that it will provide a thorough and invaluable source of information on social, cultural and spiritual activities of our Serbian Orthodox  Family of St.Sava in New York City,  

I wish you and your dearest God's Blessings,

Your intercessor before the Altar of Almighty God
The Rev. Djokan Majstorovic
