On June 14, 2026, the Second Sunday after Pentecost, the Sunday of All Saints Who Shone Forth in the Russian Land, His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh celebrated the Divine Liturgy at Dormition Cathedral in London.

His Grace was assisted by Archpriest Maxim Nikolsky, Secretary of the Diocese of Sourozh Archpriest Dimitry Nedostupenko, Archpriest Nikita Kozlov, Priest Alexander Kapustin, Protodeacon Vadim Santsevitch, Protodeacon Ioann Sylnik, Deacon Viktor Nikiforov, and Deacon Nikolai Makarov.

The liturgical hymns were performed by the Dormition Cathedral Choir under the direction of Dmitry Tugarinov.

Before the Liturgy, a reliquary containing great Christian relics—a particle of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos, and particles of the holy relics of chosen saints—was brought from the altar to the center of the church.

After the litany of fervent supplication, Bishop Matthew offered a prayer for the granting of peace.

Following the prayer behind the ambo, the Archpastor and concelebrating clergy performed a prayerful hymn before the icon of All Saints Who Shone Forth in the Russian Land.

Following the divine service, Bishop Matthew addressed the parishioners with a sermon and words of spiritual edification. Simultaneous translation into English was provided by Protodeacon Vadim Santsevitch.
