The Serbian Orthodox Church became self-governing in the 13th century, founded by St. Sava, a great Serbian archbishop. Eventually as the Serbs began moving to America, the Serbian Orthodox Church in North, Central, and South America was founded. Holy Resurrection, being Serbian in origin, is in the Eastern American Diocese of this offshoot of the Serbian Church, led by His Grace Bishop Irinej (pictured above). Our diocese is headquartered in New Rochelle, New York, where our bishop resides.
