The Newly Ordained!

This month, three of our brothers will be completing the Masters of Divinity program here at St. Tikhon’s Seminary. It has been a blessing for us to witness them grow and be formed here at the Seminary over the past couple of years. By the grace of God and with the consent of His Grace Mathew Mar Barnabas (Metropolitan, Diocese of Northeast America) and His Grace Alexios Mar Eusebius (Metropolitan, Diocese of Southwest America), the three of them were either ordained or elevated this past Lenten season.

Dn. George Mathew was elevated from the rank of Reader to M'shamshono (Full-Deacon) on Saturday, March 28th at St. Thomas Orthodox Church, Washington, D.C.

Dn. Christopher Mathew was ordained as Haupodiakono (Sub-Deacon) on Saturday, April 4th at St. Thomas Orthodox Church, Houston, TX.


Dn. Abraham (Abey) George was ordained as Haupodiakono (Sub-Deacon) on Saturday, April 18th at St. Mary’s Orthodox Church, West Sayville.

Congratulations and best wishes to the newly ordained! We hope and pray God will continue to bless and guide them in the ministry He has entrusted to them.
