This article is a direct response to "THE EVICTION FILE: FROM THE FIRST ORDER TO TODAY" (published on St. Sava Parish News) and to the reader comments beneath it. Several commenters have accused the author of fabricating or misquoting documents, claiming that the published sources actually "prove Bishop Irinej helped Serbia keep Kosovo." To remove any doubt and end the speculation, below are all five U.S. diplomatic cables in full. Read them yourself, and see exactly what the

Being a Faithful Account of the Summer Gathering, the Unexpected Lesson in Electricity, and the Children Who Refused to Sign. Once upon a time, in the ancient land of Serbianna, word spread of the yearly Summer Gathering, where the children of the realm went each summer to learn the old songs, the old faith, and the old ways — or so it had always been. Before and After In years past, when the scrolls of registration were unfurled, parents camped at their windows overnight, qu

This is not a single event. It is a file — one that has been building, piece by piece, for nine months. Read it in order, and judge for yourself whether what happened today was ever really about a lease. OCTOBER 28, 2025 — THE ORDER Parishioners had just done something canonically ordinary: they appealed to the Holy Assembly of Bishops. Days later, Bishop Irinej ordered Fr. Dragoslav's removal — not for anything Fr. Dragoslav had done, but as punishment aimed at the peopl

You already know what happened to Dorothy Winovich. An 80-year-old woman with a walker, a member of this cathedral since her youth. Her car was about to be towed from the church parking lot — while a man was still inside it, lifted into the air. We told that story. The community read it. Here is what happened after. THE COMPLAINT A parishioner, Nikola Primetica, wrote publicly on Facebook, calling the parish leadership heartless for sending a tow truck after the car o

Parma, Ohio — November 2025 through July 2026 The Bishop-appointed Trusteeship of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral has stated publicly that neither the church, its clergy, nor its board called police during the July 12, 2026 Petrovdan liturgy. On July 12, the call to police was placed by one of our own parishioners — standing outside with his community, as he does every Sunday — because he witnessed a tow truck lift a car with a living person inside. That is the only c

St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Parma, Ohio — July 12, 2026 — 38th Consecutive Sunday Today is the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Today, Dorothy Winovich — a woman in her eighties, with a walker — came to the parking lot of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Parma, Ohio, to stand with her community. As she does every Sunday. As she has done 37 times before. Instead of being greeted with the respect she deserves — she was met by a tow truck. S.M. WAS IN THE

A Response to the Bishop-Appointed Trusteeship's Own Letter St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Parma, Ohio — July 2026 The Bishop-appointed Trusteeship of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral has recently circulated a letter titled "Seven Months of Renewal at Our Cathedral." It is a beautifully written piece. It speaks of dedication, stewardship, volunteers, and progress. It speaks of deep cleaning, new icons, kitchen renovations, landscaping, new tables and chairs, new tile

Parma, Ohio — July 8, 2026. Monday, July 6th, 2026, at 1:40 PM, a Parma police officer knocked on the door of Father Dragoslav Kosić at 6306 Broadview Avenue. He knocked like mad. The door was opened by S.B. The officer said he was there for a welfare check — to make sure everything was alright. We requested the police report. We received it. Now we know everything we need to know. WHAT THE DOCUMENT SAYS: CAD Number: 260039071. Parma Police Department. Date: 07/06/2026, 13:40

St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Parma, Ohio — July 7th, 2026. Last night, around 8 PM, a truck left the parking lot of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Parma, Ohio. By the time we arrived, the truck was already loaded. We do not know when the loading began, or who was watching. On that truck — desks, chairs, and supplies from the Serbian school and Sunday school. Quality furniture. Solid, well-made, built to last. It lasted decades. Through generations of Serbian

Now they know another... Vidovdan belongs to the Kosovo martyrs. To Tzar Lazar, who chose the Heavenly Kingdom. To the soldiers who followed him into battle knowing they would not return. But Vidovdan also belongs to the memory of Vuk Branković — the man who turned his cavalry and left the field. Who chose himself over his people. Who, when the moment of truth arrived, was simply not there. History has a name for men like this

The shepherd who wasn't there - Eastern American Diocese — Ohio, 2026 Some things happen once by accident. Twice by coincidence. Three times is a habit. THE RECORD: March 15, 2026 — St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Parma, Ohio. Bishop Irinej arrives unannounced. Eight police vehicles. He enters without greeting the 70+ parishioners standing outside in the cold for their 20th consecutive Sunday. He serves the Liturgy. He leaves the same way he came — behind a wall of badge

He did not leave the way a bishop should. After serving Holy Liturgy before approximately 20 people inside an otherwise empty cathedral, Bishop Irinej did not walk out through the front doors — where over 70 parishioners stood, as they have stood every Sunday for 36 consecutive weeks. He left through the lower parking lot. Through the side street next to the residence of the newly installed priest. Through the neighborhood — quietly, without a single word to the community tha

Sunday, June 28, 2026 — St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Parma, Ohio — Week 36 On Thursday, June 26, 2026, Alex Machaskee formally dispatched a notification to the Holy Synod of Bishops in Belgrade via DHL Express — a document supported by years of financial evidence, documented corporate manipulation, and the vicious removal of Fr. Dragoslav Košić. Three days later, Bishop Irinej appeared at St. Sava Cathedral. He did not call ahead. He did not invite the congregation. H

Shadeland's Title, Years After Belgrade Said "Void" | Financial Collapse Saga — Supplemental Somewhere in Pennsylvania, there is a piece of land where generations of children learned to swim, to pray, to sing in a language their grandparents brought across an ocean. Where campfires burned late into summer nights, and where families who had nothing else still had Shadeland. That land has a paper trail. And the paper trail leads somewhere nobody who loves that camp would expect

A note to everyone who loves Shadeland Camp There is something genuinely moving about watching people who love a place fight to save it. The stories are real. The memories are real. The children who found their faith at a campfire, who sang in that chapel, who made friendships that lasted decades — they are real. And the impulse to preserve all of that for the next generation is not just admirable. It is sacred. So when we say what we are about to say, please understa

On the collapse of a carefully cultivated alliance — and the wreckage left behind There is a particular kind of poetic justice that arrives not with fanfare, but quietly — in the form of a Monday morning visit. Bishop Irinej is coming to New Marcha Monastery on Monday. Mother Paraskeva should not expect flowers. THE ONES THEY LEFT BEHIND Before we discuss the falling out, let us speak of those who were discarded along the way — because the story of this alliance c

A note before you read On May 31, 2026, Stella Pavich — a widow, a grieving sister, a woman who has buried her husband, four brothers, a sister, and her mother at St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cemetery, and who held Power of Attorney over each of them — sent a formal written complaint to three men. She sent it to Bishop Irinej Dobrijević, head of the Eastern American Diocese. She sent it to Dragan Vuković, the priest imposed upon St. Sava Cathedral in Parma. One must

BREAKING · EXCLUSIVE After six months without a paycheck — now they want him out of his home in three days Yesterday, May 25, 2026, Dragoslav and Rosanda Kosić received a Notice to Leave Premises — a formal eviction notice issued by the Board of Trustees of Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, giving them three days to vacate the Parish House at 6306 Broadview Road, Parma, Ohio 44134. The stated reason: Termination of tenancy. This lease has expired and the tenant has failed
