+Bryan D. Ouellette, Ph.D. is Consecrated into the Episcopacy of the Russian Orthodox Tradition by Bishop Mansell Christian Gilmore during the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. Exercising his first act as Bishop, the Most Reverend Bryan D. Ouellette, Ph.D. ordained Brother Peter Smith to the Order of Deacon in the tradition of the Latin Rite. Bishop Ouellette was also elected to and accepted the Patriarchate of the Holy Imperial Russian Orthodox Church operating in exile under the royal line of Царь Питер Александр Михэйлович Ромэнов (Tsar Peter Alexander Mikhailovich Romanov) and was also named Patriarch of the Holy Nicholean Catholic Church, taking the name Nicholas III under the line of Russian Patriarchs. To represent this healing between eastern and western Christian traditions, Bishop Ouellette wore the western mitre with his eastern vestments. At his Patriarchal elevation ceremony, Bishop Ouellette will wear the mitre of the east which is representative of the Byzantine crown.
