Bishop Geronty of Sukhodolsk Reposes
During the night of February 1, 2008 (ns), at 5:00 AM local time, His
Grace Bishop Geronty (Rindenko) of Sukhodolsk, Vicar Bishop of the
Suzdal Diocese of the ROAC, departed to the Lord. Over the past few
years, Vladyka Geronty had been seriously ill, and was forced to spend
long periods in the hospital. Despite his ailments, Vladyka
nevertheless managed to build a stone church dedicated to St. Xenia of
St. Petersburg, and three chapels at municipal cemeteries. Last year,
His Grace began the foundations for building yet another church. His
Grace Geronty was consecrated to the episcopacy in 2001, in the
church, which he himself had built in Sukhodolsk, by bishops of the
ROAC. Funeral services for the reposed hierarch will be held on
Sunday, February 3rd, at which His Eminence Metropolitan Valentine,
Chief Hierarch of the ROAC will preside. Eternal be his Memory! Вечная
память!
