Bless, Father,

That would, I presume, be Prince Peter Galitzine, of the same Russian house as the Servant of God, Father Prince Demetrius Gallitzin, Apostle of the Alleghenies?

Neil

You are correct. The present Prince Gallitzin (the son-in-law of Archduke Rudolph) serves as starosta (warden) of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Our Lady of the Sign, New York.
