To make pilgrimage more accessible: a fundraiser has been announced for the construction of a church and a pilgrimage center in Surskytranslated

With the blessing of Metropolitan Longin of Simbirsk and Novospassky, in the left wing of the former house of the Sokolov merchants in the working-class village of Surskoye, it is planned to build a church in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

In 2015, the mansion of the Sokolov sisters, deeply religious, pious women who lived in the village of Promzino in the 19th century, was transferred to the Simbirsk diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. The building is one of the most beautiful historical mansions in Sursky, but it is in poor condition and requires renovation.

“The construction of the Sergius Church will allow the parish of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker to perform services during the period of major repairs of the main church of the village, which is planned for next year,” said the dean of the Sursky district, the rector of the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, r.p. Sursk priest Georgy Dzhmil.—Over time, this house will house a pilgrimage center with a refectory and a small hotel for pilgrims who come to pray at Mount Nikolskaya throughout the year. A complete renovation requires large investments, so all work will be carried out in stages.

Dear brothers and sisters! We ask you to provide all possible financial assistance...
