With faith in Christ and hope in the resurrection, we share the news of the repose of former trustee and longtime friend and supporter of St Vladimir’s Seminary, Andrew Nassir, who fell asleep in the Lord on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
The Rev. Fr Andrew Nassir Memorial Endowment Fund was created by Andrew and the Nassir family in 1991 in honor of their grandfather, an influential Orthodox priest in early 20th century America. The initial donation of $50,000 launched the fund, but the family has increased that over the years through additional donations. The seminary distributes an amount from the fund to seminarians preparing for the priesthood every year; there were two recipients this year. Thanks to the miracle of compound interest, even with distributions from the Nassir Fund for the last 30 years, the balance has tripled.
St Vladimir’s Seminary and the Board of Trustees send their sincere condolences to the Nassir family and offer their prayers for the repose of Andrew Nassir.
