St John of Shanghai and San Francisco is deeply venerated at St Elisabeth Convent. His example of deedful love to the sick and the suffering makes him especially close to us. Today the good deeds continue to happen by his prayers. Sr Anastasia tells us about one.
On July 2nd (June 19th old calendar) we celebrate Feast Day of St John of Shanghai and San Francisco. St John was an Orthodox bishop known for his ministry among people with mental illness. The church in his name was consecrated on the grounds of Convent in 2019.
