OCF -- Orthodox Christian Fellowship at USF, is a group for college women and men desiring to experience the inner life, community, and worship of the deeply rooted historic Orthodox Christian Church. Students from all ethnic and religious backgrounds who desire to participate in an authentic, traditional, and vibrant Christian experience are welcome!

This is a pan-Orthodox effort; Our own Fr. Kirill Sokolov serves as the chaplain at the University of San Francisco. For more information, please reach out to him and he'll be happy to connect you with student leaders.

This week we are meeting in the Romero Room inside the offices of University Ministry (which is located at Toler Hall).  Welcome!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

Dinner, fellowship, and spiritual conversation after Vespers.

On this day, we celebrate the feast of St. Nectarios of Aegina with Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am.

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

On this, the eve of the feast of the Entrance of the Mother of God, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM.  

The texts of the service tell how Mary was brought as a small child to the temple by her parents in order to be raised there among the virgins consecrated to the service of the Lord until the time of their betrothal in marriage. According to Church tradition, Mary was solemnly received by the temple community which was headed by the priest Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. She was led to the holy place to be “nourished” there by the angels in order to become herself the “holy of holies” of God, the living sanctuary and temple of the Divine child who was to be born in her.

We begin to enter into the joy of the feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ!Vespers this afternoon inaugurates the celebration of the feast itself with the formal beginning of the liturgical day of Christmas. The tone of this celebration is given by the five stichera on "Lord, I call." What they really are is an explosion of joy for the gift of Christ's Incarnation which is now fulfilled! Eight biblical readings show that Christ is the fulfillment of all prophecies, that His Kingdom is the Kingdom "of all ages," that all human history finds its meaning in it, and the entire cosmos its center. This joy culminates in the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great and the bringing out of the festal icon into the middle of the church.

There are also the special litanies of intercession and the solemn blessing of the five loaves of bread together with the wheat, wine, and oil. The faithful partake of the bread soaked in the wine and are also anointed with the oil.

The Troparion of the Feast:
"Thy Nativity, O Christ our God,
Has shone to the world the light of wisdom.
For by it, those who worshiped the stars
Were taught by a star to adore Thee, The Sun of Righteousness,
And to know Thee, the Orient from on high.
O Lord, glory to Thee!"

Kontakion of the Feast:
Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One,
And the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One!
Angels with shepherds glorify Him!
The wise men journey with a star!
Since for our sake the Eternal God was born as a Little Child!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

God willing, we will also live-stream this service on Youtube for those physically unable to get to divine services this weekend: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRcj3JAzlyrlHP5BYcJWWnQ

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

OCF -- Orthodox Christian Fellowship at USF, is a group for college women and men desiring to experience the inner life, community, and worship of the deeply rooted historic Orthodox Christian Church. Students from all ethnic and religious backgrounds who desire to participate in an authentic, traditional, and vibrant Christian experience are welcome!

This is a pan-Orthodox effort; Our own Fr. Kirill Sokolov serves as the chaplain at the University of San Francisco. For more information, please reach out to him and he'll be happy to connect you with student leaders.

This week we are meeting in the Romero Room inside the offices of University Ministry (which is located at Toler Hall).  Welcome!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

Christ is risen! On this day, the Leavetaking of Pascha, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am. The Gospel reading is John 12:36-47.

On Wednesday of the sixth week of Pascha, we celebrate the Leavetaking of the Feast. While most Feasts have their Leavetaking on the eighth day, Pascha, the Feast of Feasts, has its Leavetaking on the thirty-ninth day. The fortieth day is the Feast of the Lord’s Ascension, which marks the end of the Lord’s physical presence on earth. He does not abandon us, however. He has promised to be with us always, even until the end of the age (MT 20:28). As we sing in the Kontakion for Ascension, “Thou didst ascend in glory, O Christ our God, not being parted from those who love Thee, but remaining with them and crying: I am with you and no one will be against you.” There is a similar thought expressed in the Troparion for the Dormition: “In falling asleep, you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos.”

The services today are celebrated just as on the day of Pascha itself. The daily readings from Holy Scripture, of course, will differ. After the Dismissal at Liturgy, the paschal hymns are no longer sung. The prayer “O Heavenly King” is not said or sung until Pentecost. The Winding Sheet (Plaschanitsa) is taken from the altar and put in its proper place. Even though today is a Wednesday, fish, wine, and oil are permitted.

On this day, the great feast of the Ascension of Our Lord, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am. The Gospel reading is Luke 24:36-53.

The Lord Himself speaks of his glorious Ascension: "I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God, and Your God" (John 20:17). And with Christ, man’s nature ascends also.  “We who seemed unworthy of the earth, are now raised to heaven,” says Saint John Chrysostom. “We who were unworthy of earthly dominion have been raised to the Kingdom on high, have ascended higher than heaven, have came to occupy the King’s throne, and the same nature from which the angels guarded Paradise, stopped not until it ascended to the throne of the Lord.” By His Ascension the Lord not only opened to man the entrance to heaven, not only appeared before the face of God on our behalf and for our sake, but likewise “transferred man” to the high places. “He honored them He loved by putting them close to the Father.” God quickened and raised us together with Christ, as Saint Paul says, “and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephes. 2:6). Heaven received the inhabitants of the earth. “The First fruits of them that slept” sits now on high, and in Him all creation is summed up and bound together. “The earth rejoices in mystery, and the heavens are filled with joy.”

The Memorial Saturday on the eve of Pentecost — Trinity Sunday — is a special day of commemoration for all of our departed ancestors.

On the eve of "the last day, that great day of the feast" (John 7:37) — Pentecost — we celebrate the festal vigil at 6:00 pm. Clergy and faithful from around the Bay Area will come together with their Archbishop "with one accord in one place" (Acts 2:1) to celebrate what must happen and does happen to us in the Church today. We all have died and risen with the Messiah-King, and we all have received his Most Holy Spirit. We are the “temples of the Holy Spirit.” God’s Spirit dwells in us (Rom 8; 1 Cor 2–3, 12; 2 Cor 3; Gal 5; Eph 2–3). We, by our own membership in the Church, have received “the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit” in the sacrament of chrismation. Pentecost has happened to us and we invoke the "Comforter, the Spirit of Truth" to “come and abide in us.”

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

On this day, the divine services begin at 9:30 AM.  We celebrate the Cathedral's patronal feast day of PENTECOST!  The Holy Spirit that Christ had promised to his disciples came on the day of Pentecost (Jn 14.26, 15.26; Lk 24.49; Acts 1.5). The apostles received “the power from on high,” and they began to preach and bear witness to Jesus as the risen Christ, the King and the Lord. This moment has traditionally been called the birthday of the Church.

We are open, and you are welcome!

The Divine Liturgy of Pentecost recalls our baptism into Christ with the verse from Galatians again replacing the Thrice-Holy Hymn. Special verses from the psalms also replace the usual antiphonal psalms of the liturgy. The epistle and gospel readings tell of the Spirit’s coming to men. The kontakion sings of the reversal of Babel as God unites the nations into the unity of his Spirit. The troparion proclaims the gathering of the whole universe into God’s net through the work of the inspired apostles. The hymns “O Heavenly King” and “We have seen the True Light” are sung for the first time since Easter, calling the Holy Spirit to “come and abide in us,” and proclaiming that “we have received the heavenly Spirit.” The church building is decorated with flowers and the green leaves of the summer to show that God’s divine Breath comes to renew all creation as the “life-creating Spirit.” In Hebrew the word for Spirit, breath and wind is the same word, ruah.

The Great Vespers of Pentecost evening (which we sing right after the Liturgy) features three long prayers at which the faithful kneel for the first time since Easter. The Monday after Pentecost is the feast of the Holy Spirit in the Orthodox Church, and the Sunday after Pentecost is the feast of All Saints. This is the logical liturgical sequence since the coming of the Holy Spirit is fulfilled in men by their becoming saints, and this is the very purpose of the creation and salvation of the world. “Thus says the Lord: Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I your God am holy” (Lev 11.44–45, 1 Pet 1.15–16).

Our celebration will culminate in a festal procession and meal.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Feast, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

At the Vespers, the three Old Testamental readings are "Mariological" in their New Testamental interpretation. Thus, Jacob's Ladder which unites heaven and earth and the place which is named "the house of God" and the "gate of heaven" (Genesis 28:10-17) are taken, to indicate the union of God with men which is realized most fully and perfectly-both spiritually and physically-in Mary the Theotokos, Bearer of God. So also the vision of the temple with the "door 'to the East" perpetually closed and filled with the "glory of the Lord" symbolizes Mary, called in the hymns of the feast "the living temple of God filled with the divine Glory." (Ezekiel 43:27-44:4) Mary is also identified with the "house" which the Divine Wisdom has built for himself according to the reading from Proverbs 9:1-11.

On this day, the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, the Mother of God, we celebrate the Divine Liturgy at 9:30 AM.  We are open and you are welcome!

The epistle reading of the Divine Liturgy is the famous passage about the coming of the Son of God in "the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of man" (Philippians 2:5-11) and the gospel reading is that which is always read for feasts of the Theotokos--The woman in the crowd glorifies the Mother of Jesus, and the Lord himself responds that the same blessedness which his mother receives is for all "who hear the word of God and keep it." (Luke 11:27-28)

Thus, on the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, as on all liturgical celebrations of Christ's Mother, we proclaim and celebrate that through God's graciousness to mankind every Christian receives what the Theotokos receives, the "great mercy" which is given to human persons because of Christ's birth from the Virgin.

The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all may be anointed with holy oil after this reading.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. All are welcome!

The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.

We continue our fellowship after liturgy with coffee, refreshments, and often other events too, such as church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open during this time, too!

This evening we serve Vespers at 6:00 PM. Our "usual" Wednesday evening Vespers is a chance for us to gather and pray as Church and to refocus on Christ in the middle of the week.

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1:5). Vespers leads us to the meditation of God’s word and His love for us. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.

The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are prayed in English. Our usual vesper service on Wednesday evenings is half an hour long. All are welcome!

On this, the eve of the Lord's Day, we serve Vigil at 6:00 PM. We are open, and you are welcome!

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.

The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come.
