SAINT SAVA MISSION FOUNDATION

In 1962, people of Serbian heritage in the Western USA set out to build a shining center of our culture, community and faith in Jackson, California, the site of the first Serbian Orthodox Christian church in North America.

Their goal: to build facilities for a childrens camp, a senior citizens home, education and other cultural and community needs. Their vehicle: the independent incorporation of our group.

Today, after over 53 years, the St. Sava Mission Foundation continues to faithfully preserve its Stewardship of this great and vital legacy.
