The calendar includes ample space for daily notations and memos, along with a comprehensive 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 most national events, such as diocesan assemblies or seminary commencements. These dates are available on the web calendar found on the homepage of oca.org.
This year’s theme, “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5), invites reflection on the life of the Church as a continual renewal in and through our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ. It reminds the faithful that the Church’s life is never static, but always being renewed by grace—whether in worship, service, or mission. The cover features images that capture the past year’s ongoing growth and renewal in the life of the Orthodox Church in America.
Throughout, the calendar includes selected quotations from the Holy Fathers, the saints, and contemporary teachers on the theme of growth and renewal. Each month offers a brief reflection on repentance, transformation, and the new life given to us in Christ, the life that makes all things new.
