In October of this year, on the Thanksgiving weekend, parishioners of St Seraphim Orthodox Church in Richmond Hill, Ontario, made a pilgrimage to the town of Rawdon, Québec, where the relics of their heavenly patron Seraphim of Sarov repose in a church that bears his name.
The pilgrims were led by Father Nikolai Boldyrev, whose life is closely related to Rawdon. They also visited Archbishop Irénée, who, together with the archdiocesan staff, gave them a warm welcome.
