: Commemoration of commencement of reconstruction of St John the Baptist Skete, Kentlyn

On Bright Tuesday, April 16/29 April, 2008, His Grace Archbishop Hilarion blessed a granite plaque commemorating the commencement of the rebuilding and restoration of St John the Baptist Skete, Kentlyn.

The Skete was founded in 1960 by Monk Guri, a Russian refugee from China. Construction of the first and only Skete building began in 1965, and was never completed. Father Guri died in 1992. In 1999 Archbishop Hilarion asked Hieromonk Joachim to come to Kentlyn and try and re-establish the Skete. After many years of fundraising the first bricks have been laid. The rebuilding is a work in progress and parishes and members of the Diocese of Sydney, Australia and New Zealand are encouraged to assist Father Joachim in his labours through their prayers, donations and practical support. Carpenters are particularly needed at this time to help convert a shed into temporary living quarters for Father Joachim whilst the Skete building is rebuilt. (more…)
