In the heart of Silicon Valley, we are building a space for community, charity and continuity.
PLEDGE HERE FOR OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN!
This center is the beating heart of our congregation. This isn't just a building: it's the culmination of a 15-year dream. For too long, our congregation lacked a proper indoor space for gatherings, celebrations, and learning. Our priest's humble residence sheltered countless pilgrims, monks, nuns and even people who lost their homes. It is high time for our community to have a place to call our own—for weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, cathechism, carrols, guests, to share meaningful moments, and stand together in times of need. In addition, using the many professional skills of our parishioners, we want this center to nurture young hearts. From health, science, English reading, parents' education, constitutional rights and outdoor education for our young learners and those of East San Jose, we are committed to educating and strengthening our community's knowledge base.
Moreoever, this space will allow us to expand our impressive charitable projects. From our tiny church, for the past nine years, we helped countless underpriviledged people from the Bay Area, Romania, Ukraine and - more recently - Africa. The needs are getting bigger. Thus, we plan to offer more vital services to the nearby and far away destitutes.
Finally, our center will serve as a vibrant hub for celebrating the Romanian heritage, welcoming all to immerse in the diverse tapestry of Romanian and Eastern European traditions. Here, these cultural legacies will flourish, providing a platform for future generations to learn through joyful picnics, beautiful concerts, captivating exhibits, yummy culinary events, engaging Romanian language classes and array of other enriching activities. By honoring our heritage, we connect generations and keep tradition alive for the future. We are weaving the threads of tradition into a vibrant community experience!
Together, these three pillars form the foundation of an inclusive and compassionate future—rooted in faith, service, and the shared stories of our people.
