His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion of New York is to make an archpastoral visitation to the diocese later this year. The First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad plans to visit the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland from the 8th to the 17th of November, during which time he hopes to serve at some of the parishes of the diocese.
His Grace, Archbishop Mark of Great Britain will also be in the diocese at the time, so it will be a double blessing. It is also hoped that the new iconostas at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God and the Holy Royal Martyrs will be blessed during this time.
We look forward to the Metropolitan's visit, which will be his first since having been elevated. May God grant him many years.
