Thank God that a women's community has already appeared in Tambovka. Abbot Seraphim with fathers Gennady, Vladyslav and Tikhon served well, and eighty people at the Liturgy for a new place is solid. I wonder how many sisters already live in the community?

Thank God that the community is already gathering eighty people for the first patronal feast. Hegumen Seraphim organized everything well together with Fathers Gennady, Vladislav and Tikhon. Do you know how many sisters live there permanently now, Yuri?

Рад за новую общину в Тамбовке. Восемьдесят человек на первый престольный праздник — это правда солидно для только что созданного места. Интересно, сколько сестёр уже там постоянно живут, как раз то же самое, что и Юрий с Константином спрашивают.

Рада за сестёр в Тамбовке — первый престольный праздник и сразу восемьдесят человек, это действительно солидно для новой общины. Игумен Серафим с отцами Геннадием, Владиславом и Тихоном хорошо послужили. Интересно, сколько сестёр уже живут там постоянно?

Good point, Samuel — eighty folks showing up for the very first one is a solid turnout. I wonder the same about how many sisters are living there full-time already. Maybe Father Seraphim will share an update soon.
