Read MoreLast January 2017 after St. Stephen’s OCF, Chapter 82, was wrapping up the 80th Novogodny Ball, our long time Ball Chairman, Paul Fedoronko, announced that 80, being a nice round number, would be his final Ball as Chairman.

Read MoreWhat an inspiring 99th national convention of our Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America! We celebrated Faith, Family and Fellowship over the extended last weekend of July 2026 at Archangel Michael Orthodox Church and its Woodside Event Center in Broadview Heights, Ohio, suburban Cleveland.
Having completed the fast and celebration of Ss. Peter and Paul, we come today to the Synaxis of the 12 Apostles of Christ. These twelve men chose to be gathered together to listen to the words of Christ and go do His work. None of their paths were easy in teaching the works of Christ and spreading His Gospel. It did not deter them from moving forward with their mission.
As we prepare to gather in Cleveland for the 99th FOCA National Convention, July 24–27, 2026 in Broadview Heights, OH, we wanted to share a few final details and reminders as plans come together.
We are grateful for the enthusiasm we’ve already heard and are looking forward to a joyful weekend of faith, fellowship, and community under the theme One Faith • One Fellowship.
Join Us in Cleveland as We Celebrate 99 Years of Fellowship
As FOCA approaches its 100th anniversary, Cleveland is honored to host the final convention before this historic milestone.
Nearly a century ago, our beloved Archangel Michael pastor of 37 years, the Rt. Rev. Fr. Vladimir Prislopsky of blessed memory, together with several colleagues, founded the Federated Russian Orthodox Clubs (FROC) - today known as the Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America (FOCA). With remarkable vision, he recognized the need for a strong lay organization to promote Orthodoxy, unite Orthodox Christians across parishes, and reflect the full breadth of Orthodoxy in America.
