Reflection on the commemoration of Venerable Sergius of Radonezh

For many years, the venerable Sergius has lent his patronage to the chapel of the Chancery of the Orthodox Church in America, located in Oyster Bay Cove, New York. Though our Church’s administration has moved to the Archdiocese of Washington, may we never be deprived of the paternal intercessions of Saint Sergius, the glory of the Russian Church and the prayerful defender of all Orthodox Christians in all times and lands!
