His Eminence the Most Reverend '''Tikhon (Troitsky) of San Francisco''' was the [[ROCOR]] Archbishop of San Francisco and Western America during the 1940s to the 1960s. He was one of the bishops who remained with the [[ROCOR]] during the [[schism]] with the [[OCA|Russian-American Metropolia]] in 1946. The American bishops voted four out of nine to leave the ROCOR at the [[All-American Sobor#Seventh All-American Sobor|Cleveland Sobor]]. Five remained with the Church Abroad, four left to head the independent Metropolia. Tikhon was succeeded in the see of San Francisco by St. [[John Maximovitch]] in 1962. He is buried at [[Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville, New York)]]. {{stub}} {{start box}}{{succession|before=[[Apollinary (Koshevoy) of San Francisco|Apollinary (Koshevoy)]]|title=Archbishop of San Francisco<br>(ROCOR)|years=1934-1962|after=St. [[John Maximovitch]]}}{{end box}} ==See also==* [[ROCOR and OCA]] [[Category:Bishops]]LOL INTERNET
