Father Simeon, thank you for running the youth department in the Serov diocese for so many years. I remember how last year you and the guys from the Transfiguration Cathedral planted apple trees near the church - they are still standing. Many summers!

Father Simeon, thank you for the youth department, the guys in Voronezh also remember how you came to the forum. The apple trees near the church are really cool, now there will be a harvest every year. Many summers!
