Axios! - 10/14/10
During the recent Diocesan Assembly in Anchorage, Dn.
Andrei Tepper was ordained to the Holy Priesthood, and Sdns. Michael
Nicolai and Anders (Andrew) Wasillie were ordained to the Holy
Diaconate.
Fr. Andrei was ordained at his home parish, St.
Tikhon of Moscow Church, on the Feast of Pokrov. He lived in
Massachusetts but most recently is from Anchorage; he is in his fourth
year of studies.
Dn. Michael was ordained at St. Innocent
Cathedral on Friday, Oct. 15. He originally was from Kwethluk, but later
moved to the Yukon region; he is in his third year of studies.
Dn. Andrew was ordained at St. Nicholas Church at Eklutna on Sunday, Oct. 17. He is from Napaskiak and is in his third year of studies.
The
newly ordained servants of God currently are serving at daily services
at All Saints of Alaska Church, the seminary chapel, as well as at Holy
Resurrection Cathedral in Kodiak.
We offer prayers for these men and their families as they begin their ministry in the Diocese of Alaska.
