We are overjoyed to share that St. Sava Academy has officially signed an agreement to acquire the St. Paul Lutheran Church and School property on Canfield Road! The contract was signed today, effective January 27, the Feast of St. Sava, marking an historic step for our Academy.

This acquisition ensures that St. Sava Academy will have a permanent, well-equipped home, continuing its mission to provide a strong foundation of faith and knowledge for future generations. The proximity of the new location to our Cathedral is a true blessing, and it’s especially fitting that this milestone coincides with our celebration of St. Sava, whose legacy continues to inspire Serbian Orthodox communities.

We are deeply grateful to St. Paul Lutheran Church, Rev. Todd Roberts, and their leadership for their cooperation. We’ve also agreed to lease back their sanctuary as part of the agreement. Special thanks to Fr. Dragan, our dedicated teachers, parents, volunteers, and to Petar Vezmar and attorney Milos Markovic, whose efforts were instrumental in making this happen.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our donors, supporters, and the wider community for their generosity and commitment to St. Sava Academy. Your prayers, contributions, and encouragement have made this dream a reality, and we are truly grateful for your unwavering support.

St. Sava Academy currently serves over 170 students, and this new property will allow us to expand and continue our important work. We humbly ask for your continued prayers and support as we work to bring this vision to life.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity—let’s work together to make it a reality!
