The Rev. Dn. Anthony Machnee, a seminarian of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), was ordained to the holy priesthood January 6, 2022, on the Feast of Holy Theophany. The ordination took place, fittingly, at Holy Theophany Orthodox Church in Colorado Springs, CO by the hand of His Eminence, Archbishop Benjamin.
Priest Anthony is in his third year studying in St. Vladimir's Seminary's Master of Divinity (M.Div.) program. He holds a B.A. in psychology from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. Before coming to seminary, Fr. Anthony worked in trades doing residential constructions and renovations, and he served as a homebuilding coordinator for Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage’s summer volunteer program from 2013-2014.
May God grant many years to the newly ordained Fr. Anthony, Matushka Mary, and their children! AXIOS!
