Following the hierarchical Divine Liturgy celebrated at St. Tikhon’s Monastery Church on Wednesday, December 13, His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon celebrated a Memorial Service for the ever-memorable Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann on the 40th anniversary of his repose. Just before noon, family members, seminarians, and visitors gathered at the grave of Fr. Alexander in the monastery cemetery where His Beatitude served the Panikhida. Responses were sung by the seminary choir under the direction of Paul Kappanadze.
