In the late1920slate 1920s, he was the priest with an Orthodox community in Portland, Oregon when the community acquired a [[church]] building on NE Mallory Avenue from the German Brethren Congregation[http://www.volgagermans.net/portland/german_brethren_church.html]. During his pastorate this church was renovated as the parish church and was dedicated to St. [[Nicholas of Myra|Nicholas the Wonderworker]].
