Glorification of Saint Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow and Apostle to America
Today we remember the glorification of Saint Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow, known as the Enlightener of the Aleuts and Apostle to the Americas. Born John Popov-Veniaminov in 1797, he devoted his life to missionary work across Siberia, Alaska, and North America. Saint Innocent was a gifted preacher, linguist, and teacher who baptized thousands, built churches, and translated Christian texts into native languages. He became Metropolitan of Moscow and helped organize missionary efforts before his repose in 1879.
