A magnitude 9 earthquake struck Japan March 8, 2011 claiming thousands of lives, and causing a tsunami and damage with fire, radiation, and blackouts.

At least 4 out of 150 Orthodox churches in the country were completely destroyed,
some damaged, others severely.  Many parishioners are still missing but fortunately, no clergymen are yet known to have perished.

There are no ROCOR parishes in Japan, but the Japanese Orthodox Church, like the Russian Church Abroad, traces its roots to Russia, and we are of one faith in God. Our Holy Faith was
brought here by a Russian saint – St. Nicholas of Japan (Kasatkin) – who came to the country in 1861.

To this day, the Fund for Assistance raised over $45,000 to assist our suffering Orthodox brothers and sisters.
