Our entire seminary community mourns the falling asleep yesterday, October 2, 2017, of His Grace Antoun, retired bishop of the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOCANA). His Grace was a member of the graduating Class of 1962 of St. Vladimir's Seminary, when the seminary campus was in New York City.
This evening, immediately following Daily Vespers in Three Hierarchs Chapel, seminary President Archpriest Chad Hatfield will lead the community in the Trisagion prayers for the repose of the newly departed Father in Christ, and the seminary Byzantine Choir will sing the responses.
Read a message about Bishop Antoun’s repose, written by His Eminence Joseph, archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of All North America, AOCANA.
