St John of Shanghai and San Francisco. A beacon of Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.

"God has no uniform standards for us to fall under. Similarly, there is no template for holiness." Fr. Sergius Nezhbort, cleric of St Elisabeth Convent and an icon painter draws parallel between spiritual and iconographic image of St John of Shanghai and San Francisco, one of the most renowned saints of the Russian Church abroad. St John was an Orthodox bishop, known for his service to people with mental illness. He spared no pains to serve his neighbor, dedicating himself completely to comforting souls of those whom he met in his life. Russian Orthodox Church commemorates his feast day on July 2nd (June 19th old calendar). The church in his name was consecrated on the grounds of St Elisabeth Convent in 2019. It is located on the territory connecting the Convent to the adjacent National Mental Health Clinic where the Sisters fulfill their ministry.
