Vladimir Prislopsky, was my grandfather. From 1933 to 1970 (his death), he was rector of St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Church in Cleveland, OH (now in Broadview Heights), once the largest parish in the Metropolia/OCA. In 1927 he and some friends established the Federated Russian Orthodox Clubs (FROC) in Pittsburgh; he became the first president and was also the first editor of its publication, the Russian Orthodox Journal. The FROC is now known as the Fellowship of Orthodox Christians in America (FOCA) and I’m editor of its Orthodox Christian Journal — http://www.orthodoxfellowship.org. In November 2010, St. Michael’s parish remembered Father Vladimir on the 40th anniversary of his repose at its annual St. Michael’s Day dinner which included a Powerpoint presentation, program booklet and speeches. For a parish to remember its priest 40 years after his death is a wonderful thing and demonstrates the high esteem in which his parishioners (and now their children & grandchildren) continue to hold him.
