"May the Lord bless the preaching of THE ORTHODOX WORD. May this preaching serve for the strengthening of true Orthodox Faith and Christian life in North America, with the help and prayers of Blessed Father Herman of Alaska, whose sanctity was manifested on this continent, and the Aleut Martyr Peter, who suffered martyrdom in San Francisco."

St. John Maximovitch, Archbishop and miracle-worker
of Shanghai and San Francisco, Theophany, 1965
