The Orthodox community mourns the loss of a dedicated churchman, a St. Tikhon’s Alumnus, and beloved friend.

May his prayers assist us all and may his memory be eternal.

Priest John Bohush, Associate Pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Church, fell asleep in the Lord on Monday, September 8, 2014.

Father John was well-known and beloved throughout the Diocese of New York and New Jersey for his extensive travels and labors assisting parishes during times of pastoral need, especially in the New York State Deanery.

Additional information and funeral arrangements will be posted as they are received.

May Father John’s memory be eternal!

Also a moving reflection about Fr. John’s life and work appears on the St. Tikhon’s Summer Camp webpage. It highlights Fr. John’s dedication to helping young people understand their faith and just one of the many ways he helped support the St. Tikhon’s Community over the years.
