About Us:
THE ORTHODOX ORDER OF ST. ANNA
The Order of St. Anna is an Orthodox Chivalric organization known as a "House Order" under the protection and leadership of Their Graces, Count Andrew and Countess Anna Mospak. Their Graces have the full support and blessings of The Holy Archdiocese for the Diaspora in America as well as the support and fraternal blessings of numerous chivalric bodies. One such example is the Independent Sovereign Order of St. Constantine, Holy Sepulture and St. John the Evangelist. Their Graces hold numerous letters patent and honors from numerous Princes. The House of Mospak is formally under the protection of the Sovereign, Royal and Imperial House of Rurikovich, of H.R.&I.H. Great Prince Hugo Cabrera Rurikovich Kubarev, by way of treaty and exchange of full blessings.
The Order of St. Anna is named after the Grandmother of Christ, the Holy Virgin's mother, and follows the traditions of our fathers in that we recognize our responsibility to assist the Church in her struggles to bring the most basic of comforts to those who cannot aid themselves, as well as to continue the education of future clergy.
The primary purpose of the Order is supplemental support for orphans both in Ukraine and in the United States as well as other worthy charity. The Order of St. Anna issues donations to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The Bishops personally oversee the distribution of funds and provide not just corporal care but spiritual as well. To see these great Bishops and aids in action is to witness the hand of God Himself!
Continuing the traditions and rights of the ancient and all Holy Orthodox Church, the Order of St. Anna continues to invest worthy men and women with noble title. The purpose of setting apart or ordaining/knighting is not one that is taken lightly nor given to create class structure. Rather, through our outward appearance and actions we display to the world our beliefs and morals. We show the world Christ in action. We feed the hungry, cloth the naked, educate the ignorant and humble ourselves. May the Lord God bless us and guide us that we can always be mindful that only through and by His grace can we achieve peace throughout the world.
Being an Eastern Orthodox Christian Order, we believe in the Holy Trinity, the Church Rudder and our creed is that of the ancient Church Fathers. The Orthodox Order of Saint Anna is an International Order with Commandery's in: UK, Italy, Brazil, Greece, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Mexico, Australia, India, South Africa, Macedonia, China, Canada, Ukraine and in the USA (Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, California, Illinois, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia).
Membership within the Orthodox Order of St. Anna is by invitation only. If you are an Eastern Orthodox Christian and are interested in finding out more about the Order and corresponding with the Order please contact us through our link found on our contact page.

THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF NEW MEXICO, USA

The parishes, missions, monasteries and sketes represent a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and jurisdictions: Greek, Russian, Antiochians, Orthodox Church in America (OCA), and Ukrainians. While these parishes, missions, monasteries and sketes may have ties to a specific ethnic or jurisdiction many of their members are American born (with or without these ethnics backgrounds) or converts to Eastern Orthodoxy. Since New Mexico has a high percentage of Latinos you will find many Latino converts in the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
