Learn about the history of New Gracanica Monastery
Watch the classic documentary “Build Thyself A Church” available now on YouTube to learn about the beginnings of the New Gracanica Monastery and witness the construction of this magnificent church from the construction of the foundation through to celebration at the Consecration.
More than thirty years ago Bishop Iriney and the Serbian Orthodox Free Diocese of United States and Canada consecrated their new church monastery, New Gracanica.
As Bishop Iriney wrote, Build Thyself a Church has and will continue to impact future generations.
“Build Thyself A Church” was produced and directed by Mirko Popadic and written by Joe McGarry.
