In the heart of Silicon Valley, the construction of our Community Center is progressing! We have completed the walls. Meanwhile, though, all our activities are squeezed into a cramped 200 sq ft room. The space adjacent to the church is now a confessional, a kitchen, a play and gathering space, priest's office and a classroom all in one. Imagine all your daily activities crammed like this? 

Please help us embark on the next construction phases: we need a ROOF before the winter rains!

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 and so much more. 

Moreoever, this Community Center will allow us to expand our impressive charitable projects. From a tiny church building, for the past nine years, we helped countless underpriviledged people from the Bay Area, Romania, Ukraine and - more recently - Africa.  Wars and pandemics only made the needs bigger. Thus, we plan to offer more vital services to the nearby and far away destitutes.  Specifically, we need to have a space for food distribution programs that address the pressing issue of hunger in East San Jose. In addition, using the many professional skills of our parishioners, we want this center to nurture even more 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.

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. We are weaving the threads of tradition into a vibrant and inclusive community experience!

To make this dream a reality, we need your support.  Together, we can pave the way for this space where hope, learning, culture, and community flourish - only together.  You can find more about the center here. Donate TODAY  to be considered an official founder of our community center!
