Saint John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco was a holy hierarch whose life was marked by humility, tireless pastoral care, and unwavering devotion to Christ. Known for his ascetic life, deep compassion, and fearless faith, he became a living witness of the Gospel in an age of upheaval, exile, and suffering. Whether caring for orphans, praying through the night, or serving the Divine Liturgy with profound reverence, his life was wholly offered to God.
As Archbishop of Shanghai and later San Francisco, Saint John was known for his constant prayer, prophetic insight, and boundless love for the faithful entrusted to him. He walked barefoot, slept little, and carried the burdens of others with gentleness and spiritual authority. Many miracles were reported both during his life and after his repose, and countless people continue to experience comfort, guidance, and healing through his intercession.
Venerated throughout the Orthodox Church and honored by Eastern Catholics, Saint John Maximovitch is remembered as a shepherd who never abandoned his flock and a saint whose holiness was revealed not through display, but through sacrificial love and obedience to God.
Each Saint John Maximovitch Prayer Card is hand-made and made to order, created with reverent care and intentionally covered in prayer from beginning to end. During its creation, prayers are offered for the person who will receive it, making every card a quiet act of intercession and faith.
This prayer card honors the holy hierarch whose life reminds us that true holiness is formed in humility, prayer, and unwavering trust in God, even in the midst of hardship and exile.
