Diocese of Shanghai

Currently, Fr Alexy Kiselevich celebrates the Divine Services for the Russian Orthodox community at the premises of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation. The Antimins was consecrated in honor of Mother of God, the same name as former Cathedral in Shanghai. For English speaking expatriates inquiring about currently available Orthodox services in Shanghai, please contact James and Heidi Gresh.

All the recently reposed Chinese Orthodox clergy originally from Shanghai are as follow:

Protodeacon Evangelos Lu (+March 5, 2017)
Archpriest Michael Li (+May 12, 2016)
Priest Michael Wang (+June 2, 2015)

In August 2003, entertainment businesses in two former Orthodox church buildings of St Nicholas Church and the former Shanghai Cathedral of the "Surety of Sinners" Icon of the Theokotos, were to be evicted from the premise after securing assurance from the Chinese Ambassador to Russia and are now emptied. From May to December 2010 divine services are held weekly at the former St Nicholas Church for Shanghai EXPO visitors.
