ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE

Exarchate of Parishes of Russian
Tradition in Western Europe

With the blessing of Archbishop Gabriel of Comana, in November 2007 ACER-MJO organised a pilgrimage to Ravensbruck where Mother Maria (Skobtsova) was martyred in 1945. A commemorative plaque was placed there, and can be seen here - together with further images connected with Mother Maria and her life.

Its members are drawn from Western Europe, particularly from France.
