Troparion — 

Tone 4 Today Alaska rejoices and America celebrates, / For the new world has been sanctified by martyrdom / Kodiak echoes with songs of thanksgiving, / Iliamna and Kenai observe the festival of faith. / The Apostle and martyr Juvenaly is glorified, / And Peter the Aleut is exalted by his voluntary sacrifice, / In their devotion and love for the Lord / They willingly endured persecution and death for the Truth, / Now in the Kingdom of Heaven they intercede for our souls!
