ORTHODOX BISHOP OF WESTERN AMERICA
ПРАВОСЛАВНИ ЕПИСКОП ЗАПАДНОАМЕРИЧКИ
Greetings in our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Western American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church joyously announces a spiritually inspiring and historically unique event: the return of Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovic (1863-1940) to America. On Saturday, September 1, 2007, at 9:30 a.m., the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy will be celebrated at the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in Jackson, California. Clergy, monastics and faithful of our Diocese, as well as from other Orthodox jurisdictions, will be in attendance. There will be a special memorial service immediately following the Liturgy at which time Fr. Sebastian’s remains, transferred from Zica, Serbia, will be interred within St. Sava Church, the first Serbian Orthodox Church in America.
Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovic was born in 1863, the son of one of the earliest known Serbian immigrants to the United States, in San Francisco, California. Upon his ordination in 1887, he became the first American-born Orthodox priest. He was well known for his missionary-apostolic work establishing Orthodox parishes all along the West Coast, including the first distinctly Serbian Orthodox parish in a Jackson, California in 1892; the church building there, still home to an active parish, is now an officially designated National Historical Landmark. Fr. Sebastian produced inspiring homilies in English, Serbian and Russian, as well as several books in English for missionary needs. He went to Serbia to serve as a military chaplain during the Balkan Wars as well as the First World War; by 1940, he retired to the St. Sava Monastery in Zica, Serbia, and after a period of illness fell asleep in the Lord later that year.
This event on Saturday, September 1, 2007, is the highlight of the Eleventh Annual Diocesan Days Weekend, which takes place from Friday, August 31 through Sunday, September 2, at the St. Sava Mission in Jackson. The honored guest speaker this year is Bishop Porphirije, PhD., professor of Pastoral Theology at the University of Belgrade. There will be a full schedule of services, workshops, and fellowship.
We hope you will be able to join us for this blessed holiday weekend event!
