On Wednesday, May 14, 2014 members of the Saint Tikhon’s Community, along with His Eminence, Archbishop Benjamin of San Francisco and the Diocese of the West, offered prayers for the departed servant of God, the late Metropolitan Leonty (Turkevich), on the 49th Anniversary of his repose.

This will be a day-long program including a graveside memorial service such as the one depicted in the photo from this year.
