Congratulations to Vasile! It remains to be seen how he will serve at the Holy Liturgy now, after his ordination.

Sofia Thanasi

Good Vasile, congratulations on the ordination! Very simple and natural it looks like it will serve in the Liturgy now. I will pray for him at our church on Thursday.

Thanks for this story. Vasili Olegovich always stood quietly in the church, and now he is already ordained as a deacon. Maybe you will see how he serves at the liturgy on Sunday.

Irene Wilson

Yes, I remember Vasily Olegovich standing so quietly in the back of the church during services. Nice to hear he’s been ordained deacon now. I’ll keep an eye out for him at Liturgy on Sunday.

Thank you, Ketevan, for sharing with us. I remember Vasili Olegovich's calm standing, it's good that he is now involved in work. If I come on Sunday, I will definitely observe how he serves.

Elena Nako

Well said, Sofia, your greeting is warm. I watched the video of the service too – he looked really calm and focused. I will pray with you on Thursday at church for him.

Ana Tudor

Yes, sincere congratulations to Vasile. I also wonder what the first Mass he will serve as a deacon will be like, probably at his parish in Petersburg. Have you heard anything about him?

Katerina Prifti

Yeah I saw that video too, it looked really cool. Thanks we will pray together on Thursday, I will be there after 5. Do you maybe know which church he will be serving now?

Bogdan Rusu

Congratulations to him too, Ana. I think the first Liturgy as a deacon will be at his parish in Petersburg, as you say, but I haven't heard anything concrete since the service. Did you find out anything about him?

Bogdan Radu

Yes, I think the first Mass will be next Sunday at his parish in Petersburg. I did not learn anything new from the service, but I heard that he sang beautifully in the pew just before the ordination. Do you know if your son knows him personally?
