The Orthodox Christian Student Association - OCSA - WA

Excitingly, calendars cross this year, and we get to celebrate with the rest of our Christian siblings in the world!
Today, we, the Orthodox Christians, celebrate the resurrection of our first Love-- the Lord, Father, and Head of the Family, Jesus Christ.
To our huge family-- Copts and Syrians, Eritreans and Ethiopians, Indians and Armenians, Greeks and Russians Americans and Canadians, Latin American and Australians, Bulgarians and Georgians, Macedonians and Romanians, Serbians and Ukrainians, Albanians and Bosnians -- I wish you all a joyful day! To all patriarchs and bishops, priests and fellow deacons and deaconesses, and lay elders and youngsters, I hope you had a blessed Pascha week, and have a wonderful feast to remember for many years.

To all our fellow believers in the world-- May your day be full of joy and blessings, and may our calendars cross events more often!

Our OCSA family in Canada celebrating their 1st annual Fellowship Gala!

OCSA's 1st Annual Fellowship Gala was held on the 19th of February, 2017 at the Canadian Coptic Center. Here are some photos that capture key moments from the night.

What a day!
Today, we visited our Armenian brothers and sisters at their beautiful church in Redmond, Washington. We participated in the liturgy, and had a quick breakfast with them afterwards. Their hospitality and love was heart-capturing. On behalf of OCSA and and our clergymen from the Coptic church, we presented a humble gift to our beloved Armenian father there. We also made sure to pay our respect to the million+ martyrs of the Armenian genocide (1915). We look forward to further the 1,600+ years of strong relations, by connecting our youth and their youth organization in future spiritual and social outings.
