Prikhody.ru 11/11/2026. Archbishop of Yuzhno-Sakhalin and Kuril Nikanor performed the ceremony of laying the foundation of a chapel in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the “Valley of Tourists.” The site for the construction of the chapel was chosen between the Bolshevik and Krasnaya mountains, on the banks of the Elanka River, as it is popular among residents and guests of the island capital.

The archpastor invoked God's blessing on the initiators of the construction of the chapel, expressing confidence that it would become a place among the mountains and forests where a person could be alone with God, strengthened in spirit and body, feeling the gracious help of St. Sergius, Abbot of Radonezh.

According to the press service of the diocese, the chapel will be equipped with a bathhouse.
