The first priestly martyr of the Bolshevik Revolution was Fr. John Kochurov. Fr. John had spent many years in Chicago as a missionary, and accomplished amazing things during this missionary work. Fr. John was murdered on October 31/November 13, and we therefore commemorate him annual on this date. This year November 13 falls on a Sunday. Our diocesan fund for those in need of assistance is named in St. John’s honor. This November 13 we will hold a membership drive at St. Vladimir’s with the goal of making our parish the single parish of the diocese with the most St. John Kochurov Society members.
