The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America (FOCA) brought the spirit of St. Nicholas to campus this Nativity season for seminarians and their families. FOCA helped fulfill wish lists for married seminarians and their children in the month of December.

The gift-giving is part of the St. Nicholas Wish List Project that FOCA has sponsored for more than fifteen years. The Project matches chapters and parishes from all over the country with seminary families from both St. Vladimir's and St. Tikhon's seminaries. Over the years, FOCA has helped over 450 seminary families with presents for their children at Christmas, household items, and money for food, bills, and gas.

FOCA is an official organization of the Orthodox Church in America. Fulfilling wish lists is one of many ways FOCA supports seminaries and a number of other causes around the country and abroad. Learn more about FOCA and how to get involved on the organization’s website, here.

Thank you, FOCA!
