Welcome!
Holy Cross Romanian Orthodox Church, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, is rooted in ancient faith. We are a growing Christian community of people from various ethnic and social backgrounds sharing a common commitment to the Lord, each other, and the Apostolic Faith. We warmly welcome all who are looking for a deeper experience of the salvation offered in Jesus Christ. Come join us during our inspiring services and engage in an authentic dialogue with God while experiencing our friendly community!
BELONG • SERVE • CELEBRATE
Our community center is almost finished. Help us open its doors!
Our future center and priest’s house is the culmination of a 15-year dream to create a permanent home for our congregation—where we can gather, educate young people, expand our charitable outreach to those in need, and preserve our Romanian and Eastern European heritage for generations to come. We need your help to make this dream happen.
Your gift will help us complete a permanent home where you and your family will BELONG, SERVE, and CELEBRATE. Together, we are builing a place for families to gather, children and young people to learn, people in need to receive support, and Romanian and Eastern European traditions to be shared with future generations.
BELONG
It is high time for our community to have a place to call our own—a welcoming home where we can gather for weddings, baptisms, memorial services, anniversaries, children’s education, and visitors; a place to share meaningful moments, celebrate together, and stand together in times of need.
It's a place where generations come together, families build connections, children learn, and our community can gather in both joyful and difficult moments.
We put compassion into action by caring for people experiencing hardship in the Bay Area, Romania, and beyond. Through volunteer opportunities, community outreach, and youth service initiatives, we encourage every generation to discover the joy and responsibility of giving back.
We bring Romanian and Eastern European heritage to life through language, music, food, art, history, and tradition. From joyful culinary events and concerts to cultural exhibits, Romanian language classes, and family programs, the center will create opportunities for generations to learn from one another and share our heritage with the broader community. Every contribution brings us closer to opening the doors.
FOR NOW, THIS IS HOW THE PARKING LOT OF OUR CHURCH AND CENTER LOOKS LIKE
Contractors’ estimates project that completing this final phase will cost approximately $250,000. We know that is a significant amount to ask, but we’re at the finish line.
Please join us, support the fundraiser, and help us cross it.
