FELLOWSHIP OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES (F.O.C.U.S)
HISTORY
FOCUS is a spiritual organization that caters to the spiritual needs of the older youth in the American Diocese.
Officially established by the Diocesan Metropolitan's Kalpana in September of 2005, it has slowly begun to take root in many of the diocese's major cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Dallas, Chicago, and Houston. We are working hard to establish units in many other places so that young professionals and couples over the age of 23 can come together for spiritual growth and renewal.
