As of late last month, there are four parish communities under the Russian Orthodox Church in Vietnam.

On February 28, His Eminence Metropolitan Pavel of Manila and Hanoi, administrator of the Philippine-Vietnamese Diocese, visited the Russian faithful living in Nha Trang who had requested the formal establishment of a parish, the diocese reports.

Nha Trang is the capital of the Khánh Hòa Province on the south-central coast of Vietnam, with a population of 422,600.

During the meeting with the faithful, the Nha Trang parish was established in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The diocese already included the Parish of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Vũng Tàu, the Parish of St. Ksenia of St. Petersburg in Hanoi, and the Parish of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos in Ho Chi Minh.

A 15-member parish council was elected for the new parish, as were the members of an audit commission.

At the end of the parish meeting, Bishop Pavel answered the parishioners’ questions.
