Fr. Victor Potapov on the Death of Metropolitan Hilarion

of His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion

Thanks to you, we’ve collected over $257,000 for our suffering brothers and sisters!

"When we see this battlefield in the world, we must look for inner peace, which can come only from God."

We know that you haven’t forgotten our brothers and sisters in Haiti!

In the Ukrainian crisis, the Russian Church Abroad’s Diocese of Berlin & Germany has found itself at the very epicenter of events.

The small Russian mission and monastery in Mexico are reacting to the current situation between Russia and Ukraine.

The tragedy taking place these days in Ukraine resonates with living pain in the heart of the Russian Orthodox Diaspora

We’re turning our drive to help the victims of the crisis in Ukraine into a matching appeal!

I’m writing to you because of what’s going on in Ukraine... to appeal to your mercy.

When war broke out in Ukraine, Baba Irina’s family had to flee to a safer city. There was no way they could bring Babushka with them. She would not have made the trip alive.

How much help do we, the faithful children of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, offer to our own brethren, never mind those who are further afield?  Often, we think that our Christian duty consists solely of prayer, church attendance, observance of fasts and the participation in the sacraments.  However, helping our neighbour is also our direct responsibility. The Lord says that this will be asked of us on the Day of Judgement, “for I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed Me” (Matt. 25:35)
