It is good that the Patriarch will come to London again, precisely on St. Nikita. I remember him being there for the centenary in 2022, so nice that he continues to visit our brothers in Britain. I hope that this time too it will be a nice service in Saint Sophia.

You said it well, Jelena, right on St. It will be nice for Nikita to see the Patriarch again in London. I remember that in 2022, after the liturgy, he stayed longer to talk to people in front of Saint Sophia. I hope that one of our parishioners from Podgorica will come to attend this time as well.

It's good the Patriarch is heading back to London for St. Nikita's feast and the Archbishop's name day. I remember reading about his 2022 visit for the centennial; sounds like he always makes time to talk with the folks outside St. Sophia afterward. Hope some of our people from the parish make the trip too.
