This campaign is dedicated to helping defray the cost of hosting the July 31-August 3, 2025 Clergy Synaxis Meeting for the Diocese of Etna and Portland under the omophorion of His Eminence Bishop Auxentios.  The hosting parish is St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. John of Kronstadt Orthodox Church in La Mesa, CA, just outside of San Diego.  Our church family is small, uses rented spaces for worship, and barely meets its present operating expenses.  We would like your assistance to help us cover the costs of transportation to San Diego, in and around town, and back to their home destinations, as well as lodging costs, catering, rental of meeting spaces and equipment.  Many of the attendees will be monastics with limited sources of income.  We would welcome any donations that would help us cover both their costs and our costs.
