For this year’s Feast of the Annunciation, the St. Vladimir’s Seminary community was blessed by the visit of The Right Reverend Andrei, Auxiliary Bishop of the Romanian Episcopate (Orthodox Church in America).
His Grace presided over services on the eve of the Feast and for the Feast itself. During the Vesperal Divine Liturgy on March 25, Bishop Andrei ordained second-year seminarian Blake (Silouan) Cohen to the holy diaconate and seminary professor Dr. Vitaly Permiakov to the rank of subdeacon.
