Dear Friends and Supporters!

Many wonderful things are happening at Holy Trinity Theological Seminary in Jordanville, and the pace is picking up like never before!

  • This year 2021-22 we have enrolled an unprecedented number of exceptionally qualified and enthusiastic students, so that on-campus housing is now filled to capacity, which will soon necessitate additional space.
  • Many facets of the HTS curriculum are now under review with the aim of optimally responding to the evolving needs of today’s Orthodox seminary education and pedagogy.
  • Institutional accreditation with the NY State Board of Education is being officially sustained, thereby confirming our program’s true excellence at both the undergraduate (B.Th.) and graduate (M.Div.) levels.
  • The HTS faculty is rapidly rising in its stature and credentials with a clearly strengthened perception of both spirituality and scholarship as key components of contemporary Orthodox pastoral formation.

Divine Liturgy was celebrated on that day, after which the worshipers went to the cemetery to perform a memorial service over the late priest’s grave.

On the way back they noticed smoke over the house and discovered that it was enveloped in flames.

We appeal to our readers to prayerfully and materially support Matushka Elena and her family:

Сотни и сотни людей православной веры вместе с митрополитом Иларионом, епископом Георгием и священнослужителями, иконами и хоругвями, с зажженными свечами прошли Крестным ходом вокруг здания храма. «Христос Воскресе!» – провозгласил владыка, и ему вторили голоса священников и протодиаконов.
