2 new editions to the Indian population at St. Tikhon's

We are blessed to have two new additions to the Malankara Orthodox population here at St. Tikhon's Seminary. Jake Kurian (the guy sporting the goatee on the left) is from Houston, Texas. He like Chris, will have to get used to the cold weather here up north, but we trust he will adjust =) Jake has a background in Pharmacy and is a pretty well known youth leader in the southern region of the diocese and has great love for the liturgial hymns of the Church.

Next up we have, Diju Skariah (the pleasant looking fellow on the right) hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Unlike Jake, he is used to the cold weather, but like Jake, Diju loves the liturgical hymns of the Church. Diju has been a very active youth leader and a familiar face in Chicagoland Area and has been involved in coordinating the three successful MGOCSM Missions trips for the Diocese.

We welcome both Jake and Diju, and we look forward to a whole year of ragging...oops I mean growing together as brothers and servants to Christ and His Holy Church.
