Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine were shocked by the terrible news about the devastating fire on our Easter of St. Sava Cathedral in New York City.
“My father King Peter II was very much connected to St. Sava Cathedral in New York City over several decades. This church belonged to Protestant church in the past, but St. Bishop Nikolaj instigated the purchase for the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in 1944. My father often attended services and gatherings of our people at this cathedral, and my family and I continued that tradition. In our times of exile, this cathedral was spiritual oasis for my family and me, where we always find consolation and ease our homesickness.
My wife and I have attended several fund raising events in New York for the cathedral. We were in communication during the night with Father Djokan, and will meet with him later this month to see how we could help for the future of this valuable Serbian sanctuary”, says Crown Prince Alexander.
