The 85th annual Pilgrimage to Ft Ross, CA, which normally happens on July 4th, will be held this year on Saturday, July 3rd. The Hierarchical Liturgy is scheduled to begin at 10:00 am.

The trip isn’t a simple one, but “podvig” IS part of the Christian life and brings much grace! (Besides, can you imagine what the trip was like on July 3rd, 1925?) Please plan to attend, and encourage and bring your parishioners, fellow monastics, family and friends to enjoy this beautiful place where St. Innocent himself walked and prayed. Bring a picnic lunch, water, etc., and maybe a little extra to share.
