Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church Our mission is to Bring People Closer to God by witnessing, proclaiming, and growing our Orthodox Chr Welcome to the Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church.

We thank you for visiting our page 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).

Highlights from our Property Blessing last Sunday, presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos, alongside His Grace Bishop Ioannis and Father Nikolaos Bekris of Resurrection. A beautiful day for our congregation!

Thank You for viewing the Blessing of our New Pleasanton Property. This blessed ground is more than double our current property and will accommodate over 325+ people in a Byzantine-style Church that will embody the beauty of Orthodoxy.

Today was a glorious day, thanks be to God for his abundant blessings on the Resurrection parish. His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos, Bishop John, and Father Niko Bekris offered an Agiasmos (property blessing) service for our new home. Our prayer is that we will be able to complete our new sanctuary in the next few years, and our move to Dublin Canyon Road in Pleasanton will commence. For more information about our building project, contact Father Niko in the church office (510) 581-8950. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

On the grounds of St George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hammoud, innocent blood was shed, yet the faith and legacy of those who sacrificed their lives remain engraved in the conscience of all Orthodox Christians.

We commemorate our martyrs in our prayers and ask our God, who is risen from the dead, to grant rest to their souls among the Saints, to comfort us all, and to preserve Christianity in Jordan and in the whole world.

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

☦️ MEMORIAL (DEMETRIUS) SATURDAY

🕯️ October 24, 2026 — Remembering the Faithful Departed

Today, on Memorial Saturday, also known as Demetrius Saturday, the Orthodox Church calls us to remember in prayer all our brothers and sisters who have departed this earthly life in the hope of the Resurrection.

In the Orthodox Christian tradition, remembrance of the departed is not simply an expression of grief, but an act of enduring love, faith, and hope in the mercy of God.

We remember our parents, grandparents, family members, friends, spiritual fathers and mothers, and all those who have gone before us. We especially remember those who have no one left on earth to pray for them.

Though death separates us physically, our love and prayers remain united in Christ, Who has conquered death and opened the way to everlasting life.

On this sacred day, may we light a candle, offer a prayer, and remember the names of those who have fallen asleep in the Lord.

☦️ A Prayer for the Departed

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the devil, and given life to Thy world: Do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of brightness, a place of green pasture, a place of repose, whence all sickness, sorrow, and sighing have fled away.

Memory Eternal! Вічная пам’ять!

May their memory be eternal, and may their souls dwell with the righteous until the glorious Resurrection.

☦️ Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

What a man thinks or feels as he prays to God is more important to God than the words his tongue forms.

The tongue is capable of delusion, but the heart does not delude; it shows a man as he is — black or white.

—St Nikolai Velimirovich

☦️🙏 LORD, HAVE MERCY!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, when we feel weak, give us strength. When we feel lost, guide us. When we are discouraged, renew our hope. Never let us forget that You are with us, even in our darkest moments.
Through the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and all Your Saints, strengthen our faith and lead us toward Your light.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy Amen.☦️❤️🙏☦️
