Welcome to Saint Anna Greek Orthodox Church
Saint Anna Greek Orthodox Church is a vibrant, Christ-centered community rooted in the traditions of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Established as part of the Metropolis of San Francisco, our parish serves the spiritual, educational, and philanthropic needs of Roseville, California, and beyond. Through worship, study, and service, we strive to embody Orthodox Christian teachings while fostering a welcoming environment for all. Our ministries include adult catechism, youth religious education, mission outreach, and community events. We honor sacred traditions through liturgical services, sacraments, and the veneration of holy relics, while also engaging in modern initiatives like sustainable campus development.Our philanthropy extends locally and globally, supporting organizations such as IOCC, OCMC, and mission efforts in Kenya, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The 2023 completion of our Holy Sanctuary, funded through donations and a $5 million loan, reflects our commitment to creating a space for worship and community gathering. Led by dedicated clergy and lay leaders, we emphasize prayer, service, and the spiritual disciplines as central to our mission.
