Ольга Бойко

Glad for these five men. Who among them is going to be a deacon, and who is going to be a priest? I will pray that everything will work out for them.

Elisabeth Wagner

Nice to see five men being ordained. Olga, from the photos in the article it looks as if three were ordained as deacons and two as priests - at least that's what the caption says. I will also pray for them, especially for the one who comes close to us.

Κατερίνα Παπαδοπούλου

I am glad that five men will be ordained. The photos show three deacons and two priests, as Elisabeth says. I will have them in my prayers, especially the one from our parts.

Χρήστος Μακρής

I'm glad too, Katerina. Where are you from? Who is the one you mention, from Cyprus? I will have them all in my prayers, especially on Sunday when the ordination will take place.

Микола Панченко

Glad for them too, Olga. From what I read, three go to deacons, and two go to priests right away. Let's pray together that everything will turn out well for them, especially in the first steps in the ministry. What parish will you be from?

Анна Бондаренко

I'm glad you're also following the news from Washington, Mykola. Two priests at once is a big responsibility, especially at the beginning. Where are you from? I am from Vinnytsia Holy Pokrovsky, I often help at liturgies.

Στέλιος Νικολαΐδης

Yes, there is one from Cyprus, Andreas, I have known him for a long time. We will have them all in our prayers on Sunday, as you say. Will you be able to go to the ceremony?
