On Sunday, July 16, 2023, His Eminence KIRILL, the Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America, resumed the active ministry of His Diocese after a successful operation on June 22 and a three-week rest period for subsequent recovery.

On Tuesday, June 18, he served the Divine Liturgy on the Patronal Feast of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in San Francisco. During the Liturgy, the rector of the church, Igumen Mikhail (Lunin), was awarded the right to wear the jeweled cross. And at the end of the Liturgy, Vladyka Kirill rewarded Vera Don-Donkow with the Order of the Holy Nun-Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth.

Many years to Igumen Michael and the handmaid of God Vera, as well as to our dear Ruling Bishop, His Eminence KYRILL Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America!
