Christ is Risen! Over three decades ago, in 1988, the Romanian Orthodox Parish of Palm Springs, California, was founded under the spiritual protection of the Saints Michael and Gabriel. Since then, the “Holy Archangels” Romanian Orthodox Church has walked with courage and faith within the local Orthodox community, remaining steadfast in the lives of Romanian and American Orthodox Christians in Palm Springs and the surrounding areas.
Our parish is under the canonical jurisdiction of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America (ROEA), shepherded by His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel Popp. Since December 23, 2018, Fr. Iustin Capsa has faithfully served this beautiful Orthodox community, guiding parishioners through the holy services and offering spiritual care through the sacraments and blessings that mark our journey toward Christ.
With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel, and by the official decree of the ROEA Chancery (dated April 18, 2019), Fr. Iustin Capșa was appointed Parish Priest of the Romanian Orthodox Church of Palm Springs, effective May 1, 2019. Our official website, www.bisericapalmsprings.com, is the digital home of the Saints Michael and Gabriel Romanian Orthodox Church in Palm Springs, CA. We invite you to join this vibrant and blessed Orthodox community!
If you want to get in touch, we welcome you with open hearts. Whether you have questions, seek spiritual guidance, or connect, we are always glad to hear from you.
