Commemoration of Patriarch Irinej

Today, the priesthood of St. Sava church in London, after the Holy Liturgy, served a commemoration for the newly presented servant of God, Serbian Patriarch Irinej. Protodeacon Djordje Čekerevac, a friend of the late Patriarch since student days in Prizren and Belgrade, served the Holy Liturgy and commemoration alongside other priests. Protodeacon Djordje and Patriarch Irinej exchanged last messages while Patriarch was in the Karaburma hospital in Belgrade. Patriarch Irinej was also a professor in Seminary in Prizren attended by our priest Radomir Acimovic. With special feelings we remember Patriarch’s visit to England in 2016, his services in London and Birmingham and his speech at St Paul's Cathedral. He was a tireless traveller wanting to visit, encourage and comfort his spiritual children around the globe. Today, as in the previous days, we were in prayer memory with our Patriarch and we remain grateful for his legacy and work in the field of God.

Eternal memory and the Kingdom of Heaven to our Patriarch Irinej!
