99th Convention Schedule of Events

Join us July 24–27, 2026, in Cleveland, Ohio, for the 99th FOCA National Convention as we gather under the theme "One Faith • One Fellowship." This special convention will bring together FOCA members, clergy, families, and friends from across the country for a weekend of worship, fellowship, service, and celebration as we prepare for the organization's historic 100th anniversary year.

The weekend will feature a variety of opportunities to reconnect with old friends, meet new members, and participate in the life of the Fellowship. Highlights include opening fellowship activities, committee and business sessions, youth programming inspired by the traditions of St. Vladimir's Camp, Vespers, and a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy with Orthodox hierarchs and clergy. Attendees will also enjoy the annual banquet and awards program as we celebrate the accomplishments and ministries of the Fellowship.

In addition to the convention activities, attendees will have the opportunity to experience one of Northeast Ohio's most popular summer attractions—the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. This optional evening outing offers a unique cultural experience featuring hundreds of illuminated lantern displays, live entertainment, and food from around the world, providing a memorable opportunity for fellowship outside of the convention setting.

Convention events will be centered at the Woodside Event Center at St. Michael's in Broadview Heights, with nearby hotel accommodations available in Independence. Whether you are a longtime FOCA member, a first-time attendee, or someone looking to reconnect with the Fellowship, this convention promises a meaningful weekend of faith, friendship, and community.
