His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon to Concelebrate With His Beatitude Archbishop Stefan of Macedonian Orthodox Church
On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon will concelebrate the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy with His Beatitude Archbishop Stefan of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric. This concelebration will mark the Orthodox Church in America’s formal recognition of the world’s newest and youngest autocephalous Orthodox Church.
Preparations for this concelebration have been ongoing following His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon’s first public recognition of the Macedonian Orthodox Church during the 21st All-American Council, July 14-18, 2025, in Phoenix, AZ. Other hierarchs and clergy of the Orthodox Church in America are expected to concelebrate.
The historic service will begin at 9:00 AM at St. Nicholas Cathedral, 3500 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Liturgical responses will be offered by the Archdiocesan Choir of Washington, DC.
The Hawaiian Myrrh-Streaming Iveron Icon of the Mother of God and the holy relics of the newly canonized Righteous Olga of Kwethluk will also be present and available for veneration by the faithful.
