Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church - Castro Valley, CA
Welcome to the Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church Parish Website. We thank you for visiting our website and taking the opportunity to learn about the beauty captured in the Orthodox Faith.
Our Resurrection Parish family consists of 200 or more faithful families (stewards) who make up the body of Christ in worship. Our community is unique to the East Bay area because of its multi-ethnic background, as well as its small size, (compared to other Greek Orthodox Churches in the surrounding area).
I pray that you have an enlightening experience as you surf through our website, and if you have any questions about our precious faith, please do not hesitate to contact our Church office at (510) 581-8950.

Services at Holy Cross Monastery
The clergy of our monastery
serve under the omophorion of Archbishop Kyrill, who shepherds the OCA Archdiocese of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and the Diocese of Toledo, Ohio. Services are usually conducted in the languages best
understood by those worshipping with the Fathers, who can conduct services in Romanian, Slavonic
("Old Bulgarian"), Greek, or English.
Our chapel is open to the public for:
Great Vespers—Saturday evenings at
6:00 P.M.
Divine Liturgy—Sunday mornings at
10:00 A.M.
Please respect the sacred solitude and quietude of the cloister and contact the
Fathers before visiting at other times. Liturgical offices are reserved for the monks and may be
attended by special arrangement.
"Worship the Lord in holy
attire" — cf. Psalm 95(96):9; Psalm 29(28):2 (RSV)
That is, when you come to the House of God, be wholly attired.
Please refrain from wearing:
Shorts or short dresses
Sleeveless, backless or frontless clothing
Anything you would not wear on Judgment Day
Thank you for your respect and reverence
for the majesty of God.
