Who We Are
Welcome to Saint Anna Greek Orthodox Church
While our parish has served Roseville since 1998, we are rooted in Orthodox Christianity, which has spanned the globe since A.D. 33.
OUR VISION
To be a vibrant, Trinity-centered beacon of Orthodoxy, rooted in Holy Tradition, forming faithful disciples, strengthening family, and witnessing Christ.
OUR MISSION
We are a community of Apostolic Orthodoxy centered on the Holy Trinity, inviting all to salvation in Jesus Christ through sacramental worship. Forming disciples, we honor Holy Tradition and the sanctity of marriage and family, and bear witness to our Faith through acts of love, hospitality, stewardship, and outreach.
Our History and Milestones
1998: Saint Anna Parish was founded in Roseville, CA, by the Rev. Fr. Demetrius Dogias (of blessed memory) and a handful of dedicated faithful. Rev. Fr. Cosmas Halikakis was assigned as the mission's first priest.
2000: The parish was officially dedicated to Saint Anna, establishing her feast day (July 25, the Dormition of Saint Anna) as our primary celebration.
2005 & 2007: Through the grace of God, the parish received Holy Relics of Saint Anna, and later, Saints Joachim and Anna, from the Skete of Saint Anna on Mount Athos, Greece. Upon receiving these relics, our parish was distinguished as a Metropolis Shrine Church dedicated to "the Sanctity of Marriage and Family."
2007: Founders’ Hall was completed at our current home on Stone Canyon Drive. The educational wing and administrative offices were dedicated to Fr. Demetrius and Presvytera Dogias alongside the founders of our church.
2023: After breaking ground in 2021, construction of our permanent Holy Sanctuary was completed. His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco celebrated the official opening on July 2, 2023.
