29-11-2025 
Your Grace!
Dear Vladyka and our gracious father!
On the feast day of your heavenly patron, the holy Apostle and Evangelist Matthew, on behalf of the clergy, monastics, and laity of the Sourozh Diocese and the Patriarchal Parishes in the United States and Canada, we heartily congratulate you on your name day!
You, like the future Apostle Matthew, once heard the call of our Lord Jesus Christ: Follow Me, left all your former existence and followed Him (Mark 2:14). Today, we all see the good fruits of your difficult archpastoral labours in missionary service, in the building up of the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:12) in the British Isles and the North American continent.
On this festive day, we prayerfully wish you, dear Vladyka, spiritual and physical strength in your hierarchal ministry for many blessed years!
Clergy, monastics, and laity of the Diocese of Sourozh and the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA and Canada
