Condolences of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill on the death of Protopresbyter Leonid Kishkovsky
ARCHBISHOP OF WASHINGTON
METROPOLITAN OF ALL AMERICA AND CANADA
Your Beatitude,
Beloved in the Lord Brother and Concelebrant at God’s Altar,
I have been grieved to learn about the demise of Protopresbyter Leonid Kishkovsky, whom I knew personally and with whom I worked at various inter-church forums for fifty years. I express my sincere condolences to his spouse, Matushka Alexandra, and to his children and grandchildren.
I am praying to the All-Merciful Lord that He may establish the soul of the recently deceased steward of the Church in the eternal mansions, in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, and give spiritual strength to all those who are mourning this loss.
With brotherly love in the Lord,
PATRIARCH OF MOSCOW AND ALL RUSSIA
Patriarch
