The proclamation draws particular attention to the Synod's desire for a Churchwide celebration of St. Tikhon on the anniversary of his Glorification, September 26/October 9, 2025.

> *"Under the supervision of the diocesan hierarch, one or more cathedrals in each of our dioceses should mark this occasion with All-night Vigil, Liturgy, and other festive services as may be possible, using whatever accustomed texts may be available."*

No special services are requested for parish churches. Instead, the proclamation reads:

> *"clergy from throughout each diocese should make every effort to attend such services, and the faithful should be invited and encouraged to join their clergy and hierarchs in common prayer."*
