Under his leadership, Orthodoxy gained a firm foothold in America. His missionary work eventually brought 17 parishes to the Orthodox Faith with an estimated 29,000 people. When St Patriarch Tikhon was recalled to Russia, he "entrusted his work to the hands of Father Toth in whom he had the greatest confidence." He has been called the Father of Orthodoxy in America and in official periodicals it has been estimated that 'more than half of 400,000 Russian Orthodox in the USA are descendents of his converts.' St Alexis died on May 7th 1909 after suffering from an ailment for 5 months. When his body was exhumed in 1916 to be placed in the stone mausoleum behind the church, it was found to be incorrupt. St Alexis was glorified at St Tikhon's Monastery during the 90th Memorial Day Pilgrimage in 1994. It is with great joy that on the 100th anniversary of the repose of St Alexis, we offer this recording, sung by the Choir of St Tikhon's Seminary. Audio Quality: In-Studio Recording. $9.99       Qty:
