On June 11, the 1st Sunday after Pentecost, that of All Saints, His Eminence Nicholas, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, celebrated Divine Liturgy in the Synodal Cathedral of the Sign in New York City. Concelebrating with the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad were cathedral dean Archpriest Andrei Sommer, Protodeacon Nicolas Mokhoff (cathedral cleric), and Hierodeacon Panteleimon (Jigalin; diocesan cleric).

Singing at Liturgy was the Synodal choir under the direction of Isaiah Trofimenko.

A multitude of cathedral parishioners prayed at the divine service, with many communing of Christ’s Holy Mysteries.

Upon completion of the service, Metropolitan Nicholas greeted all with the feast, and addressed those present with a sermon on the feast of All Saints, highlighting the life of the Righteous John the Russian. He called on parishioners to remain steadfast in the Faith as St. John had.

The cathedral sisterhood organized a luncheon in the church hall.
