On October 4, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, the feast of the Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, Bishop John of Shuya and Teikovsky celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Resurrection Cathedral in the city of Shuya.

The cathedral clergy served with the Bishop.

The diaconal rank was headed by Deacon Alexander Volov.

Liturgical hymns were performed by the Bishop's Choir of the Resurrection Cathedral under the direction of Yuri Naumov.

During the Divine Liturgy, the archpastor performed the diaconal ordination of subdeacon Vladimir Kravchenko to the deacon.

The sermon before Communion was delivered by the dean of the Resurrection Cathedral, Priest Dimitry Belnyak.

Students of the Orthodox school named after St. Mitrofan of Voronezh prayed during the service, along with the director of the educational institution, Larisa Dmitrievna Maltseva.

Today also marks the 28th anniversary of the priestly consecration of Bishop John of Shuisky and Teikovsky.

Congratulations to Bishop John on his 28th anniversary of priesthood. It’s good that Vladimir Kravchenko’s consecration took place on such a day. I wonder how Deacon Vladimir will serve in Shuya now.

I am glad that the diaconal ordination of Vladimir Kравченко took place on the very day when Bishop John celebrates 28 years of his own presbyteral ordination. It is beautiful when things align like this. Will the new deacon serve in the cathedral in Şuia as well?

Good that the hieromonk ordination of Vladimir Kryvchenko took place on the day when Archbishop Ioann celebrates 28 years of priesthood. It turns out as if one gift is being passed on. Interesting to see if Deacon Vladimir will now help in the same cathedral where the choir of Yuri Naumov sings.
