On March 6, 2021, on the Ecumenical Parental (Meatfare) Saturday, His Grace Bishop Matthew of Sourozh headed the service of the Divine Liturgy at the Dormition Cathedral in London.

His Grace was assisted by the Secretary of the Sourozh Diocese, Priest Dimitry Nedostupenko and Protodeacon Vadim Santsevitch.

At the litany for the departed, the Archpastor offered up prayers "for the repose of the souls of God's servants, forefathers, fathers and brethren burried in this country and abroad, Orthodox Christians."

At the end of the service, the clergy served a lithia.  Then Vladyka addressed the believers with words of a sermon and spiritual edification.

In the evening of the same day, just before the all-night vigil, a moleben and a panikhida were served, during which prayers were offered up for the health and repose of Orthodox Christians.

Notes for commemoration are accepted in the church shop of the Cathedral and on the official website: http://pominovenie.sourozh.org

The divine services were broadcast live on the diocesan page Life of Sourozh on the social network Facebook.
