Hotel — Open Now
Every service, session and the Grand Banquet is inside this hotel. A room in the block is the difference between walking downstairs to Divine Liturgy and driving in each morning.
The Convention block is open at the Hilton Anaheim, 777 W Convention Way. The block runs July 17–25, so you can arrive two nights early at the same rate. Booking inside the block is what holds the rate.
Booking several rooms for a parish group? Use the Rooms field on the booking page and reserve them in one transaction — no coordination with us needed.
This is the hotel only. Event registration opens later this year.

The Invitation
With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan SABA, and with joy and anticipation, Saint Andrew Orthodox Christian Church in Riverside, California invites the entire Antiochian Archdiocese to join us for the 2027 Biennial Convention — a week of worship, fellowship, and celebration in the heart of Southern California.
Set against the palm-lined promenade of Anaheim's Resort District — steps away from Disneyland and a short drive to the beaches of Orange County — this Convention will bring together clergy and laity from across North America for Divine Services, edifying workshops, youth programs, department meetings, vendor exhibits and grand banquets.
The Very Reverend Father Josiah Trenham, together with the clergy and parishioners of Saint Andrew, look forward to welcoming you.
Anaheim in July — walking distance from the Disneyland Resort, forty minutes from the coast, and an easy trip from four airports.
The Week
Every service, session and banquet takes place inside the Hilton Anaheim. Nothing is off-site.
Daily services throughout the week, culminating in the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy.
The Archdiocese meets in assembly. Parish delegates are seated; registration is parish-based.
Sessions run by the Archdiocese's departments across the week, open to all attendees.
Programming for teens and children runs in parallel, with its own schedule and space.
The Bible Bowl and the Oratorical Festival — two of the week's long-standing traditions.
The closing banquet. Ticketed separately as part of registration when it opens.
