The calendar includes ample space for daily notations and memos and a directory of OCA ministries, departments, boards, commissions, diocesan chanceries, and seminaries. Key liturgical commemorations and significant historical dates for the year are also noted.
The Desk Calendar does not include diocesan and national events such as diocesan assemblies, seminary commencement dates, Holy Synod, and Metropolitan Council meetings. These dates are indicated on the Web Calendar of our website’s homepage.
This year’s calendar theme is “Gathered Together By Christ,” which is also the theme of the upcoming 21st All-American Council, which will take place in Phoenix, AZ, from July 14-18, 2025.
The cover features pictures from previous councils but also historical photos of Saint Tikhon of Moscow whose 100th anniversary of his repose will be celebrated in 2025, as well as photos of Matushka Olga of Alaska whose canonization is expected to take place also next year.
The quotes found in the 2025 Desk Calendar are from Saint Tikhon of Moscow: Instructions & Teachings for the American Orthodox Faithful (1898-1907), STM Press, 2016.
