LIBERTYVILLE-CHICAGO
Belgrade, 19 August 2010 – His Royal
Highness Crown Prince Alexander II received with great
sorrow the news that His Eminence Metropolitan Christopher
of Libertyville-Chicago fell asleep in the Lord at the age
of 82. His Eminence Metropolitan Christopher of blessed
memory will be remembered as one of great Hierarchs of the

difficult times in order to overcome schism and
misunderstanding within the Church, and especially the part
of the Church that is located in Serbian Diaspora. The Crown
Prince wrote a letter of condolences to His Holiness
Patriarch Irinej of Serbia.
The death of His Eminence Metropolitan
Christopher of Libertyville-Chicago is a great loss for
Serbian Orthodox Church, Serbian Nation and the Orthodox
Community worldwide.
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander
II and his family have been friends for a long time with the
late Metropolitan, and their relationship was one of mutual
respect and understanding.
Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince
Alexander, Crown Princess Katherine, Prince Peter, Prince
Philip visited last November the Metropolitan in
Libertyville. His Majesty King Peter II is buried at St Sava
Monastery Libertyville and the Metropolitan led prayers at
the graveside of His Majesty.
The Honourable Branko Terzic, PC, GCCY,
member of the Privy Council will represent the Crown Prince
at the funeral of the Metropolitan
