On Saturday March 19, 2011, His Beatitude, Metropolitan JONAH led a retreat on the "Prayer of Silence" at the Primatial Cathedral of St Nicholas. The event was the First Annual Bishop Basil Rodzianko Memorial Retreat, and was hosted by the Holy Archangels Foundation.

Joining the St Nicholas Cathedral clergy and faithful for the retreat were Archpriest Gregory Safchuk, Archdiocesan Chancellor and Rector of St Mark's Orthodox Church in Bethesda, MD; Archpriest Michael Koblosh of All Saints of North America Mission in Alexandria, VA; and Priest David Arnold of St Cyprian of Carthage Mission in Richmond, VA. 

Numerous faithful from Richmond, the District, and throughout the Archdiocese enjoyed an afternoon of introduction to the practice of stillness, detachment, and an active awareness of the presence of God. A full transcript and video recordings of the event will be made available as they are prepared.
