Mitred Archpriest Boris Gulin, father of Priest Nikolai Gulin, Assistant Priest at Saint Stephen Cathedral, Philadelphia, PA, fell asleep in the Lord in Moscow after receiving the Holy Mysteries on Sunday, June 26, 2016.
Father Boris was ordained in 1961 after graduating from the Odessa Theological Seminary. During the course of his priestly ministry, he endured many persecutions and threats from the godless communist authorities of that time. Due to his steadfast refusal to cooperate with Soviet authorities he had been continuously assigned to over ten parishes. For many years he had served as Father Confessor in his diocese and had provided spiritual care for a number of monasteries.
May Father Boris’ memory be eternal!
