ST. XENIA OF PETERSBURG PARISH

GENERAL INFORMATION

In 2001, with the blessing of the Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America, the parish, with great joy, was named after one of the most respected Russian woman saints, St, Xenia of Petersburg. She is the patroness of hearth and family happiness, peace and prosperity. Our priest is Father Paul Iwaszewicz.

We generally meet every first and third Sunday of the month and the preceding Saturday at the Veteran's Hall (2290 Willow Pass Road, Concord, CA 94522-0611) to pray. Check the calendar for the specific schedule. Our services are primarily in Church Slavonic with some English. Our upcoming schedule is as follows:

We continue virtual transmission via Zoom for those who are not able to attend services.
