At Manastir Gracanica (35240 W Grant Ave, Third Lake, IL 60046) we will be hosting our first annual Sumadijsko Vece! Plans for this event include live music, folklor performances, a silent auction, and more! For this event, all proceeds will go to the Zvecanska 19 orphanage. Entrance is $20. Our goal is not just this year, but in the future as well, to raise money and help less fortunate Serbian children in need in Serbia and worldwide.
The institution's mission is to ensure that children and young people without parental care grow up in a safe and supportive environment while nurturing relationships with family and significant others. In addition, they strive to promote education and giving the foundation of every day skillsets required for children once they leave the orphanage.
Zvecanska strives to provide a safe and healthy environment for the children.
