St. Olga of Alaska was canonized by decision of the OCA Holy Synod in November 2023. Her glorification was celebrated in her native Kwethluk on June 19 and 20 and again in Anchorage on June 21 and 22.
Met. Tikhon, as primate of the OCA, also blessed for the feast of St. Olga to be served again during the All-American Council to give the entire Church an opportunity to celebrate its newest saint together.
