Local Diocesan Mission (LDM)

The Local Diocesan Mission division provides aid to those living in Southern California. Like all other programs, assistance is not limited to those of the Coptic Orthodox faith, but to anyone in need. There are three programs that provide this support to Southern Californians, Entertaining the Angels, Coptic Integrated Family Services, and Community Services.
