Ordinations

The faithful of Kodiak were blessed this past weekend with a visit from the Locum Tenens of the Diocese of Alaska, Bishop Benjamin of San Francisco.  While here, His Grace ordained seminarians Anders Wassillie and Michael Nicolai to the rank of sub-deacon.  Furthermore, he ordained St. Herman staff member Irenaios Anderson to the Holy Diaconate.  Congratulations to the newly ordained!
