In 1964 the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) held services simultaneously in Utica, New York and at the Synodal Cathedral of the Sign in New York City to glorify St. John of Kronstadt. Ten years prior to that the St. John of Kronstadt Memorial Fund had been created, in part to erect a memorial church in Utica, New York dedicated to St. John's patron, St. John of Rila. The St. John of Kronstadt Memorial Fund produced this beautiful commemorative book in 2024 in honor of these important anniversaries.

Published with the blessing of His Eminence NICHOLAS, Metropolitan of Eastern American and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, this full color book contains numerous historical photos of the glorification in Utica and of the visit of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco to that parish.

All the text is bilingual, in both English and Old Church Slavonic. It is a complete service book and a memorial to this great saint and the church in which he was glorified in Utica. Several prayers to St. John are also included.

This sixty-page, 8.5" x 11" publication is easy to read, making it ideal for personal devotion to St. John and for use in Church on his feast days.
