Patriarch Kirill to consecrate church of Russian spiritual-cultural center in Paris

“His Holiness the Patriarch will pay a pastoral visit to the diocese of Cherson. On December 4 he will perform a consecration of the St. Trinity Cathedral at the Orthodox spiritual-cultural center in Paris. On December 7 the patriarch will lead a ceremony on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the church of the Resurrection of Jesus in Zurich,” Russian Church spokesman priest Alexander Volkov told Interfax-Rligion.

The Russian Orthodox Spiritual-Cultural Center in Paris opened on October 19 of this year. It is a 4,200-square-meter four-building complex in the 7th arrondissement of the French capital, which includes a cultural center on Quai Branly, an education center in Rue de l’Universite, an administrative building in Avenue Rapp, and the St. Trinity Church.

The center is part of the Russian Embassy in France and has diplomatic immunity.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
