Sisterhood in honor of the Protection of the Mother of God
Our Sisterhood was founded at the Church of Blessed St. Ksenia of St. Petersburg, Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
The objective of the Sisterhood is to render active aid to the parish through a benevolent life and Christian deeds of charity, tending to the needs of the church, the clergy and parish, along with its institutions, and also for general needs of the diocese and of the common church needs of the Russian and Universal Church. (See "ROCOR Statutes for Sisterhoods in North America," April 1955)
