On the occasion of the annual Pentecost pilgrimage, Bishop Elisey of Reutov celebrated the liturgy in the Chapel of Saint Hilary the Great, in Champagne.
It was followed by a blessing of the graves of the Russian soldiers of the Expeditionary Corps. He thanked ASCERF, which makes it possible every year to uphold the duty of remembrance. He took part in the commemorative ceremonies together with Madame Paquola, mayor of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand.
Bishop Elisey, with the kindly spirit that we know so well in him, always gathers around him many young people, who did not fail to answer the call.
