An event of great importance for the young diocese was the official visit to the Murmansk region of Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia in the summer of 1997. During the visit, the Patriarch consecrated the Ascension Cathedral, celebrated the Divine Liturgy at St. outpost "Ura-Guba" of the Murmansk Red Banner Border Detachment, consecrated the heavy nuclear cruiser of the Northern Fleet "Peter the Great". In the spring of 2005, the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the city of Kirovsk was transformed into the Khibinogorsk Convent.

M. and Monchegorsk diocese (December 27, 1995-
Orthodoxy began to come to the Kola North from the 14th-15th centuries, along with the first Russian settlers (mostly from Novgorod) - fishermen and animal merchants, who settled mainly on the Tersky coast. The first church (St. Nicholas) was built in the village of Varzuga at the beginning of the XIV century, soon the St. Nicholas Monastery was founded (destroyed in 1419, the restored church was re-consecrated in 1491). From the 16th century, a wave of "Moscow" Russian migration began. Also, from the 16th century, Orthodoxy began to spread among the local population - the Lapps (Saami). The first to accept Orthodoxy in 1526 were the Lapps, who lived in the lower reaches of the Niva River in the neighborhood of Russian salt pans on the Kanda River; after them in 1532 - the Lapps, who settled along the rivers Kola, Tuloma, Pechenga. In 1533 the Trifon-Pechenegsky Monastery was founded. In the middle of the 16th century, there were already 3 parish churches in Varzuga, one each in the Pogost tract, the village of Kovda and near the mouth of the Kola River. By the end of the XVII century. there were already 13 churches in the Kola North. Until 1682, the Kola district was part of the Novgorod diocese, then the Kholmogory (Arkhangelsk) diocese.
In 1917, the territory of the modern Murmansk region was divided into three deaneries, in which there were 56 churches and 28 chapels. With the establishment of Soviet power in 1920, massive closures of churches and monasteries, confiscation of church property and buildings, repressions against the clergy. By September 1921, there were only 10 parishes in the Murmansk deanery: 3 urban and 7 rural. Church closures continued until 1924, and intensified again in the 1930s. In 1940, the last functioning churches were closed.
After the war, some relaxation of church activity began - In 1945-1947, permission was given to open prayer houses in Murmansk and Kirovsk, as well as two churches in the village of Kovda and the village of Kola (there were 11 applications for opening churches). During the Khrushchev persecution, during 1960, the churches in Kola and Kovda were closed (which caused sharp resistance from some of the believers who were on duty at the churches for about a year, not allowing representatives of the authorities to enter them; however, the churches were still closed). Thus, in the early 1960s, 2 functioning churches remained in the region - St. Nicholas in Murmansk and Kazan in Kirovsk. Only in April 1985 was permission received for the construction of a new church (in the name of St. Nicholas), which was opened on October 19, 1986. In 1988, 2 Orthodox communities were registered in Kandalaksha and Monchegorsk, after which the opening of new communities is activated. As of January 1, 1995, 21 Orthodox parishes were registered in the Murmansk region.
December 27, 1995 separated from the Arkhangelsk diocese within the Murmansk region. On December 28, 1999, the parish of the Russian Orthodox Church in the city of Kirkenes, Norway, also came under the authority of the Murmansk bishop. Since 2003, the celebration of the Cathedral of the Kola Saints has been established - on the day of memory of St. Tryphon of Pechenga, December 28. In 2004, there were 67 Orthodox associations. As of December 2011, there were 117 churches and other prayer rooms (prayer houses and rooms, etc.), as well as 53 prayer rooms at secular institutions and chapels; 58 liaisons (including 18 monastics) and 11 deacons served. It was divided into seven deaneries. There are two monasteries - Trifonov Pechenga male (with a courtyard in Murmansk, only 10 inhabitants) and the Khibinogorsk female monastery of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God (1 resident and several novices).
On October 2, 2013, the North Sea diocese was separated from the Murmansk diocese.
