The United Episcopal Catholic Communion, Solomonic Order of Saint Michael the Archangel Religious Order, was founded on September 1, 2017, by our late founder Venerable Archbishop Vendegna and former Rev. Archbishop Rawcliffe. After the passing of the founder, Fr. Kenneth Torres took over leadership.
Our monastery-based church, now part of the Autonomous Orthodox Church, is in San Francisco, California. We are open to all faiths and walks of life and operate as a Monastery, Home Base Ministry, and Virtual Ministry.
As a faith-based Monastery Church under the Eastern Orthodox Church, we conduct daily Divine Liturgy and offer prayers for various needs. Our services include weddings, funerals, baptisms, and ceremonies for people of all faiths. If you have any questions, please call +1-(650) 204-0211.
S.O.S.M.A. features a Seminary for priest formation and Exorcism Studies for clergy appointed by their bishops. Our affiliated seminary is St. Charles Borromeo Seminary:
