METROPOLITAN TEODOSIJE VISITS THE MONASTERY AND SEMINARY OF ST. TIKHON IN PENNSYLVANIA

Following his participation in the solemn celebration of the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord at the Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration in Milton, Canada, where, at the fraternal invitation of His Eminence Archbishop Mitrofan of Toronto and Metropolitan of Canada, he presided at the Divine Liturgy, His Eminence Metropolitan Teodosije of Raška-Prizren continued his visit to Orthodox holy sites in North America. The Metropolitan was accompanied by Archimandrite Andrej, Abbot of the Monastery of Crna Reka.

During their stay in the United States, Metropolitan Teodosije and Archimandrite Andrej visited the Monastery of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in South Canaan, Pennsylvania. At the Seminary, they were warmly received by His Eminence Archbishop Michael of New York and New Jersey, Rector of the Seminary, and Protopresbyter John Parker, Dean of this important Orthodox theological institution. The meeting took place in a fraternal atmosphere, marked by the shared Orthodox faith and the spiritual bonds that unite the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church in America.

The hosts were particularly pleased by the fact that Metropolitan Teodosije was the first visitor to sign the Seminary’s new guestbook. The hosts opened this guestbook following a recent pilgrimage to Serbia, during which they became acquainted with the beautiful tradition of guests visiting church institutions and holy sites leaving a written record of their visit, their prayerful impressions, and their fraternal gratitude.

The guests then visited a special memorial room, which the hosts call the Shrine of St. Bishop Nicholai. It is located in the room where St. Nicholai of Ohrid and Žiča spent the final years of his earthly life and where he reposed in the Lord in 1956. St. Bishop Nikolaj first served at the Seminary as a professor and later as its rector, leaving a deep and indelible mark on the life of Orthodox Christians in America.

For Metropolitan Teodosije and Archimandrite Andrej, this visit held particular spiritual significance, as they found themselves in a place sanctified by the prayers and final earthly days of one of the greatest saints and spiritual teachers of the Serbian people. St. Bishop Nicholai  remains to this day one of the deepest spiritual links between the Serbian Orthodox Church and Orthodox believers in America, among whom his writings, sermons, and saintly example are held in great esteem.

At the monastery cemetery, the guests also visited the grave of Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann, a distinguished Orthodox theologian and liturgist and longtime Dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary. Metropolitan Teodosije and Archimandrite Andrej prayed at his grave, remembering his great contribution to Orthodox theology and to the witness of the Church’s Eucharistic life in the contemporary world.

The Monastery of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, founded in 1905 with the blessing of St. Tikhon, who at the time was the Orthodox hierarch in North America and later became Patriarch of Moscow, is the oldest Orthodox monastery in North America. From its founding to the present day, this holy monastery has been an important center of prayer, monastic life, theological education, and Orthodox missionary work.

Metropolitan Teodosije and Archimandrite Andrej met with the monastery’s abbot, Archimandrite Sergius, and the monastic brotherhood, which today numbers twenty monks. It is particularly noteworthy that, with the exception of two of them, all the members of the brotherhood embraced Orthodoxy later in life. Their monastic journey is a living testimony to the missionary strength of the Orthodox Church in America and to modern man’s deep spiritual thirst for an authentic life in Christ.

A particularly moving moment of the visit was the meeting with Archimandrite Nektarios Serfes, a longtime and devoted friend of the Monastery of Visoki Dečani, the Diocese of Raška-Prizren, and the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.

Today, Father Nektarios is cared for with great attention and fraternal love by the monks of the Monastery of St. Tikhon, under the leadership of Abbot Sergius. In 1998, Father Nektarios founded a fund to assist the Monastery of Visoki Dečani, through which valuable aid was collected and delivered for nearly three decades to people in need in Kosovo and Metohija.

Through his love, perseverance, and selfless efforts, assistance reached poor families, children, the elderly, the sick, schools, soup kitchens, monastic communities, and all those who needed it most. Funds raised in America were distributed through the brotherhood of the Monastery of Visoki Dečani, which provided direct assistance to vulnerable families and communities throughout Kosovo and Metohija.

Metropolitan Teodosije conveyed to Father Nektarios the profound gratitude of the Diocese of Raška-Prizren, the brotherhood of Visoki Dečani, and the many families whom he has supported over the past decades—not only with material assistance, but also with encouragement, hope, and the assurance that they had not been forgotten.

His active Christian love has left a lasting mark on the lives of many people, especially children and the most vulnerable families in Serbian communities in Kosovo and Metohija.

The visit to the Monastery and Seminary of St. Tikhon reaffirmed the deep spiritual bonds between Orthodox Christians in Serbia and America—bonds sanctified by the prayerful presence of St. Bishop Nicholai, the theological legacy of Father Alexander Schmemann, the missionary labors of the monastic brotherhood, and the active Christian love of Father Nektarios Serfes.

Metropolitan Teodosije thanked his hosts for their warm welcome and fraternal love, expressing his hope that the Monastery and Seminary of St. Tikhon would continue to be a place of prayer, spiritual transformation, theological education, and encounters with the living Christ.

A shared desire was also expressed for the fraternal ties and cooperation between the Diocese of Raška-Prizren, the Monastery of Visoki Dečani, and Orthodox ecclesiastical institutions in America to continue and deepen further, for the good of the Holy Church and its spiritual mission in the world.
