Our humble thanks…
Our holy brotherhood wishes to extend thanks to the many pilgrims that visited the monastery and took part in the monastic services and on the joyous (and hot) celebration of our feastday.
We are particularly grateful to the priests who joined us for our annual Monastery Pilgrimage, beginning with the Feast of Saint Olav of Norway, and ending with the Patronal Feast of the All-Merciful Saviour: Archpriest Alex Kotar, Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Seattle, WA.;
Priest John Calbom, second priest of Saint Nicholas; Archpriest Nicholas Letten, Annunciation Orthodox Church (OCA), Milwaukie, Oregon; Archpriest David Moser, Saint Seraphim of Sarov Russian Orthodox Church, Boise, Idaho; Priest Seraphim Majmudar, Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, Tacoma, WA.; Priest James Baglien, Saint Martin the Merciful Russian Orthodox Church, Corvallis, Oregon; Priest Sergei Sveshnikov, New Martyrs of Russia Orthodox Church, Mulino, Oregon; and Deacon James Bryant, Saint Paul Antiochan Orthodox Church, Brier, WA. Also, we were honored with an afternoon visit by Father Takla Azmy, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church, Puyallup, WA. Additionally, we had Subdeacon Gideon, of Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church (OCA), in Puyallup, WA., Reader Tikhon, of the Kazan Mother of God Russian Orthodox Church, of San Francisco; and Reader Steven, of Saint Spiridon (OCA) Cathedral in Seattle, WA serve with us.
May God grant all a blessed and prosperous year until our next pilgrimage!
Tonsure of Novice Christos
With the blessing of Archbishop Kyrill, Abbot Tryphon tonsured Novice Christos as a Rosaphore Monk. He will now be known as Father Moses, after Saint Moses the Black.
Monastery Pilgrimage
Plan now to participate in our upcoming annual Monastery Pilgrimage. The Pilgrimage begins with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy for the Feast of Saint Olav of Norway, on Wednesday, August 11th, starting at 10 am. There will be fellowship and shared meals in the Trapeza, and talks around a camp fire, along with the usual daily services throughout the remainder of the week.
On Saturday, August 14, the Patronal Feast of the Monastery of Christ the All-Merciful Saviour will take place, starting at 10 am, followed by a festal meal. As has been the tradition for many years, we have plenty of camping space available in the Saint Seraphim Forest, for those who’d like to spend the entire four days.
