What we experienced at Seminary part 2

Our Graduation was May 26. It was an exciting and blessed event. It was the culmination of our seminary studies. As we all lined up to process toward the ceremony, there was a clear sense of brotherly love and accomplishment. As I stood next to my fellow seminarians, I was proud of them all, but a little sad. Our time was ending as seminarians and the next chapter in our lives was about to begin.

 

 

                                      

 

Our Graduating Class

The next day, I was ordained by the Grace of God to the Holy Diaconate, by His Eminence Archbishop Benjamin of San Francisco.

Ordination to the Holy Diaconate:

We are so thankful for our time at St. Tikhon's. We have been blessed to have studied there for three years. It will always be for us a home away from home, a second family. We thank God always for the love, support, and prayers. His Eminence informed us that our assignment will be in Colorado Springs, working with the Very Reverend Anthony Karbo at St. Constantine and Helen. The next post will be my last for this website. We have arrived in Colorado Springs and are getting settled in. Thank you again for your prayers!
