Sixth ROCOR First Hierarch Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral) passed away at the age of 74 on May 16.
"Bishops Council will take place on September 13-21. The council is convened specifically for the election of the first hierarch," Gan said on Monday.
The election will take place at the beginning of the council, he added.
The full agenda of the council will be considered during the next meeting of the ROCOR Synod on June 30, Gan said.
"The Synod also formed a commission to receive the property of the blessedly reposed Metropolitan Hilarion," Gan added.
Metropolitan Hilarion was buried on Sunday at the major Russian convent abroad - the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York, where he spent a big part of his life as a seminarian and as a monk.
