[[Image:JuvenalyArchb sm.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Archbishop Juvenaly (Kilin) of TsitsikarQiqihar]]His Eminence Archbishop '''Juvenaly (Kilin) of TsitsikarIzhevsk''' was a [[bishop]] of the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia]] and of the [[Church of Russia]] during the 1930s to 1950s. An emigre to China, he returned to the Soviet Union after World War II.
==Life==
After his consecration, Bp. Juvenaly found travel to his new [[see]] impossible. As a consequence, Bp. Juvenaly continue as superior of the Kazan Mother of God Monastery until in 1936 when he administered the Peking mission for Bp. Victor while he was in Belgrade. During 1937-1938, Bp. Juvenaly acted for vicar bishop John of Shanghai while he worked for the Synod of Bishops in Sremski Karlovci. After Bp. John's return, Bp. Juvenaly was attached to St. Nicholas Memorial Church in Shanghai participating in the work of the mission.
In 1940, the Synod of Bishops of ROCOR returned Bp. Juvenaly as superior of the Kazan Mother of God Monastery and the monastic community in Trekhrechiye in Harbin with the title of Bishop of TsitsikarskQiqihar, second vicar of the Diocese of Harbin and Manchuria. In 1944, Bp. Juvenaly was awarded the right to wear a [[cross]] on his [[klobuk]].
The end of World War II and the occupation of Manchuria by Soviet forces again changed Bp. Juvenaly's life. In 1947, he was forced back to the Soviet Union and came under the administration of the [[Church of Russia|Moscow Patriarchate]] which was appointed him Bishop of Chelyabinsk. In 1948, he was elevated to the rank of archbishop and appointed to lead the Diocese of Irkutsk. In 1949, he was transferred as the first bishop of the newly reestablished Omsk [[cathedra]]. In Omsk, he translated the [[relics]] of Metropolitan [[John Maximovitch of Tobolsk|John of Tobolsk]] to a new [[crypt]].
In 1952, Abp. Juvenaly was transferred again, this time to the see of Izhevsk and Udmurtsk. In time as Archbishop of Izhevsk and Udmurtsk, Abp. Juvenaly began to feel his health declining. He asked to retire, but the [[patriarch]] asked him to remain, even offered him the rank of [[metropolitan]], an offer that Abp. Juvenaly declined, stating he does not serve to gain rank. Foreseeing his death, Abp. Juvenaly asked Archim. Peter (Semyonovykh) from Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra to tonsure him into the great [[schema]]. Archim. Peter, who knew archbishop from Harbin, did so with the name John. He laid in his schema robes thereafter.
Abp. Juvenaly fell ill late in 1958. On [[December 25]] he was given the [[holy mysteries|Sacrament]] of [[Holy Unction|Unction]]. On [[December 27]], he donned his schema robes. On [[December 28]], 1958, Abp. Juvenaly reposed saying "Here is our new land, here is our new world" after having asked his friends in attendance to sing the [[prokimenonProkeimenon]] "Sing to our God, sing, sing to our King, sing" three time.
The Diocese of Izhevsk is preparing for the [[glorification]] of Archbishop Juvenaly as a local [[saint]].
