The Moscow Patriarchate\u2019s Administration for Institutions Abroad instructed the acting administrator of the Patriarchal parishes in the USA, Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, to render assistance in organizing regular divine services for the community members and to explore a possibility for opening a parish in Canc\u00fan.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2019, with the blessing of Bishop Matthew, Rev. Kirill Chacon, rector of the Church of the Protecting Veil of the Mother of God in Mexico, visited the community of the faithful in Canc\u00fan, where at a local Catholic church, with the kind permission of Bishop Pedro Pablo Elizondo C\u00e1rdenas of Canc\u00fan-Chetumal, he celebrated the Divine Liturgy and administered Sacraments and rites.<\/p>\n<p>On 19<sup>th<\/sup> January 2020, the feast of the Holy Theophany, with the blessing of Bishop Matthew of Sourozh, Rev. Mark Rashkov, chancellor of the Patriarchal parishes in the USA, visited Canc\u00fan and in concelebration of Rev. Kirill Chacon celebrated the Divine Liturgy and performed the rite of the Great Blessing of Water.<\/p>\n<p>After the divine service Father Mark greeted all the worshippers with the feast of Theophany and conveyed to them blessings and warm wishes from Bishop Matthew of Sourozh. Acting on the instruction of the archpastor, Fr. Mark presented Rev. Kirill with a medal in commemoration of the centenary of the restoration of the Patriarchate in the Russian Orthodox Church and thanked him for taking pastoral care of the Russian Church\u2019s believers in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>That same day later Priests Mark and Kirill met with Msgr. Pedro Pablo Elizondo C\u00e1rdenas, Bishop of Canc\u00fan-Chetumal, expressing their appreciation for providing on a gratis basis a church building to the Orthodox community for celebrating divine services.<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Mark conveyed to the Bishop of Canc\u00fan-Chetumal Christmas greetings from Bishop Matthew of Sourozh and presented him with the \u2018Eleousa\u2019 Icon of the Mother of God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Website of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA\/<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>DECR Communication Service<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
