Lilly Endowment Inc. has awarded a $1 million grant to help St. Vladimir's Seminary build healthy Orthodox parishes by providing training and resources to more ordained and lay leaders—particularly through online education.

The Very Rev. Paul Shafran (SVOTS' class of 1945), turned 100 years old this summer and celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the holy priesthood.

SVOTS was invited by the Endowment to apply, and is one of several dozen organizations chosen to take part in phase one of the Compelling Preaching Initiative.

This volume includes the first three chapters of the “Second Part” of St. Isaac's works, available in a complete English translation for the first time.

The Very Rev. Alexander Padlo graduated from St. Vladimir's Seminary in 1970. He most recently served as pastor at Ss. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Miami, FL (Orthodox Church in America), one of the oldest Orthodox parishes in South Florida.

Matushka Anne “Anya” Hopko, née Schmemann, fell asleep in the Lord in Quebec, Canada, where she was vacationing with family. She was 78.

Reader Dr. Geevarghese (Renish) Abraham was ordained to the holy diaconate Saturday, August 20, 2022 in his home diocese of Delhi, India (Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church).

With faith in Christ and hope in the resurrection, we share news of the falling asleep in the Lord of His Eminence, Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia, a leading Orthodox Christian theologian, teacher, and author.

Saint Vladimir's Seminary hosted its annual Education Day Online, a six-hour “Zoomathon” where participants listened and posed questions during discussions led by Seminary professors and guest scholars.

The Seminary welcomed forty-three new students and two new faculty members as it kicked off its 2022–2023 Academic Year.
