Troparions:
O Holy Father Innocent
In obedience to the will of God
You accepted dangers and tribulations
Bringing many peoples to the knowledge of truth.
You showed us the way,
Now by your prayers help lead us into the Kingdom of Heaven.

You evangelized the northern people of America and Asia,
proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the natives in their own tongues.
Holy Hierarch Father Innocent,
enlightener of Alaska and all America,
your ways were ordered by the Lord!
Pray to Him for the salvation of our souls in His heavenly Kingdom!
