The fast of the Apostles culminated with the feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul on July 12th (N.S.) With the attendance of many pilgrims in addition to the “summer youth,” 25 of whom are presently here, and of course the brotherhood, His Grace Bishop Luke celebrated the divine services.
During the liturgy on Friday morning , Bishop Luke ordained Hierodeacon Ignatius a hieromonk. This was a very joyful event for the brotherhood and all those who know Fr. Ignatius, who has come to us from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to study in the Seminary graduate program. At present, he is fulfilling the duties of Dean of Students during the absence of Hieromonk Theodore.
Fr. Ignatius (Elias Matzchke Brull in the world) has begun his 40-day serving. Wishing him God’s blessing in his new obedience to the Monastery
