His Eminence the Most Reverend '''Kiprian (Borisevich) of Philadelphia''' was one of the many [[priest]]s who immigrated to the United States after World War II as refugees from the Soviet Union. After the death of his wife he took [[monastic]] vows and was consecrated vicar [[Bishop]] of Washington and appointed [[rector ]] of [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Monastery (South Canaan, Pennsylvania) |St. Tikhon's Seminary]]. He was subsequently elected Bishop of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, later elevated to [[Archbishop]], and remained in those positions until his repose in 1980.
