The occupancy of the first shift at the Labor House in November 2017 began with prayer: with the blessing of His Grace Bishop John (Roshchin) of Naro-Fominsk, Father Hegumen Nikodim (Balyasnikov), Secretary of the Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA, came to consecrate the place and invoke God's blessing on the endeavor itself.

The idea of erecting a house temple began to be realized immediately after moving in by the brothers themselves, who made the frame for the iconostasis with their own hands, and then equipped the place for the altar according to all the rules. Step by step, the work progressed, and within seven months the iconostasis was completed, icons appeared on the walls, a place was equipped for singers, there were candlesticks, a memorial table for prayers for the deceased, and so on.

The date of June 1, 2018, when Priest Mark Rashkov, also a clergyman at St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral, consecrated the church and served the first Divine Liturgy in the home church of St. John of Kronstadt, became historic. After this event, the clergy of St. Nicholas Cathedral visited us and served within these walls once a month to a year and a half. During that time, we also had visitors, such as our longtime friend, Abbot Theophan, who came to America from the Moscow suburb of Egoryevsk.
