Jackson, NJ:
Bishop Jerome led a Panihida at the Tomb of Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky)
On
September 4, our diocese marks the 34th anniversary of the repose of
the ever-memorable Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky), formerly of Washington
and Florida. On Friday evening, September 3, on the eve of the
anniversary, His Grace Jerome, Bishop of Manhattan, led a panihida for
Archbishop Nikon at his tomb in the lower Church of the Protection of
the Mother of God at St. Vladimir Memorial Church in Jackson, NJ. His
Grace was co-served by Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov (Dean of New
Jersey and rector of St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Lakewood, NJ),
Archpriest George Larin (rector of Holy Virgin Protection Church in
Nyack, NY), Archpriest Alexander Golubov (cleric of St. Nicholas
Patriarchal Cathedral in New York, NY), Archpriest Philip Petrovsky
(rector of Holy Virgin Protection English Mission in Jackson),
Archpriest Serge Lukianov (Eastern American Diocesan secretary and
rector of St. George’s Church in Howell, NJ), Priest Serge Ledkovsky
(deputy rector of St. Vladimir Memorial Church in Jackson), Deacon
Nathan Mousselli (cleric of St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in
Lakewood, NJ), and Deacon Paul Drozdowski (cleric of St. Vladimir
Memorial Church in Jackson). After the panihida, a commemorative
repast was offered in the parish hall.
In
connection with His Eminence’s anniversary, a new section of the
website, dedicated to the memory of Archbishop Nikon, has been opened.
