Our righteous father '''John Kochurov''', [[hieromartyr]] of the Soviet revolution, was one of a number of young educated [[priest]]s who came to the United States in the late 1890s as [[missionary|missionaries]] among the émigrés from Carpatho-Russia and Galicia. He was active in establishing [[parish]]es and aiding communities, mainly in the Midwest. After returning to Russia he was assigned to Estonia where he put into action the teaching skills he learned in America before he was assigned in 1916 to Tsarskoe Selo. Here he was [[martyr]]ed during the early days of the Bolshevik revolution. His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[November 13]] in the new style [[calendar]].
