The orphanage was closed in 1918, the attempt was made to close the church in 1930 but the beleivers defended the church. Archpriest Konstantin Krasovsky was the dean of the church from 1920 to 1947. The iconostasis and the religious objects were transferred from the Troitskaya Church in the village of Druzhnoselye, when it was closed in 1945, to the church. In the early 1950s the right side-chapel of the Holy Trinity was consecrated. In the beginning of the 2000s the bells were replaced and the restoration work of the church was done. The Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God, the Icon of St Seraphim of Sarov with the particle of his holy relics are objects of worship.
