Synaxis of the Holy Archangels — November 8
Saint Michael and Gabriel Romanian Orthodox Church
Welcome to your spiritual home in the Coachella Valley.
Welcome to Our Parish
Saint Michael and Gabriel is a Romanian Orthodox parish at 590 S Vella Rd in Palm Springs, California, celebrating the Divine Liturgy every Sunday from 10:00 to 11:50 a.m. in Romanian and English.
Saint Michael and Gabriel Romanian Orthodox Church warmly welcomes all who seek worship, fellowship, and a spiritual home. Whether you are Orthodox by birth, exploring the faith, or simply curious, our doors are open to you.
We serve the Romanian Orthodox faithful across the Coachella Valley and Inland Empire — Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Indio, La Quinta, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Banning, Beaumont, and surrounding communities.
For many of our faithful, this parish is more than a place of worship — it is a cultural home, where the Romanian language, traditions, and way of life are kept alive far from home.
