ROCOR

The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (also called the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, ROCA, ROCOR, or the Synod)
is a semi-autonomous jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate originally
formed in response against the policy of Bolsheviks with respect to
religion in the Soviet Union soon after the Russian Revolution.

ROCOR currently has over 400 parishes as well as monasteries for men
and women in 40 countries throughout the world, served by nearly 600
priests. In North America, it has approximately 133 parishes in the US
and 22 in Canada. There are three ROCOR communities in the United
Kingdom and 21 in Australia and New Zealand. There are also roughly 100
communities, which owe allegiance to ROCOR in Russia and the other
nations of the former Soviet Union.

There are five ROCOR monasteries for men and women in North America,
the most important and largest of which is Holy Trinity Monastery
(Jordanville, New York), to which is attached ROCOR's seminary, Holy
Trinity Orthodox Seminary.

In concert with the Church of Jerusalem, ROCOR also oversees the
Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, which acts as caretaker to
three holy sites in Palestine, all of which are monasteries.
