Our Mission
Our mission is to establish a profound and lasting fellowship among ourselves and others who share these interests, and seeking ways to dedicate ourselves and each other and our whole life to Christ our God through community life, prayer, service to others and study of the Faith. Regardless of background or creed, all are cordially and enthusiastically welcome.

"Do not say, 'I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you," says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:7-8

Cornell OCF's Patron Saint - Saint Catherine

Message from Fr. Tom

Saint Catherine's defense of the faith in Christ Jesus stumped the most learned pagan philosophers in Alexandria, Egypt, and for this she earned her crown of martyrdom. OCF members tale St. Catherine as their model Christian leader and defender of the faith. Your love of your Orthodox faith and your exhibition and defense of the Orthodox faith in this multicultural, relativistic, I'm OK, you're OK society can make you unpopular and worse yet, hated and the target of the irreligious members of this society. Keep the faith and continue to model your faith through Christian charitable actions. St. Catherine would be very proud of you.

Yours in Service to Christ Jesus,

Fr. Tom
