In the wake of the election of the new Patriarch, His Grace, Archbishop MARK will make a pastoral visitation to the diocese from the 19th to the 22nd of February.
He will arrive in London on the evening of Thursday, the 19th of February. On Friday, the 20th of February, he will serve Vespers at the parish of St Elisabeth the New Martyr, Birkenhead. On the following day, he will serve the Divine Liturgy at St Elisabeth's parish and tonsure a new reader for the parish. Vladyka will then return to London and serve the Vigil at the Dormition Cathedral, where he will serve the Liturgy on Sunday morning.
We are delighted to have Vladyka Mark with us, who will no doubt bring good news and give us encouraging words at this new stage in the life of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Eis polla eti, Dhespota!
