Dear friends,

We are a small group of parishioners: parents, neighbors, volunteers. What unites us is simple. The cathedral that shaped so many of our lives should stand restored for our children, and for theirs.

Zemlja Hiljadu Ukusa started with a plain idea: gather our community around what Serbia does best, wine, food and song, and let one evening lay the foundation of a years-long restoration. Every table, every bid, every glass counts.

Thank you for standing with us. We look forward to welcoming you on November 14.

With gratitude,
The Organizing Committee

Every glass raised,
raises the cathedral

This gala begins a multi-year restoration of our historic cathedral. Everything raised on the night, from tables to auction bids, funds the work in three phases.

Phase one

The Foundation

Structural and electrical repairs that cannot wait. The quiet work that keeps the doors open.

Phase two

The Formation

Classrooms for our children’s faith and culture, so the next generation inherits the language, the music, and the tradition.

Phase three

The Glory

A traditional dome, an Orthodox cross, and frescoes within. Our spiritual home, whole again.
