[1][2] Sevastijan Dabović was born on 9 July 1863 in San Francisco, California, as the child of Serbian immigrants from the town of Risan in the Bay of Kotor.

Dabović's friend Nikolaj Velimirović called him the "greatest Serbian missionary of modern times".

[7] Some of the places where he did this include Seattle, Washington (the future St. Spiridon Cathedral), where he served as a temporary priest before Fr.

Ambrose Vretta's arrival in November 1895; Portland, Oregon; and Butte, Montana (the future Holy Trinity Church).

[11] Dabović died on November 30, 1940, at the Žiča Monastery in Kraljevo, which at the time was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
