Патријарх Иринеј у Западноамеричкој епархији

Од 4. до 9. септембра 2015. године Патријарх Иринеј је посетио Калифорнију и предвoдио прославу поводом канонизације Светог Севастијана Санфранциског и Џексонског у Катедрали Светог Стефана у Лос Анђелесу. Народ, свештеници и Владике, који су дошли из свих православних јурисдикција, нису могли сакрити велику радост поводом овог јединственог догађаја у њиховом животу. Патријарх је служио Литургију, причешћивао народ и беседио о чудесном животу новопросијавшег Светог Севастијана и рекао ”ходио је стопама Светога Саве”. После Лос Анђелеса, Патријарх је са својом великом пратњом посетио винарију ”Ополо”, као и залив Сан Франциска. На крају пута, у Њујорку, Патријарх је примио почасни докторат на Академији Св. Владимира.
