Dear Visitor to Stas.org,

Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances some of the dates listed on the Seminary's Academic Calendar for 2009-2010 have changed. The ceremonies for the Taking of the Cassock, First Tonsure, and the conferral of the Minor Orders of Porter and Lector have been moved from the customary date of Candlemas, February 2nd, to Sunday, February 14. The second Minor Orders of Exorcist and Acolyte will be bestowed during the same ceremony as the Subdiaconate on Saturday, March 20th. We ask that those who were planning on attending these ceremonies adjust their plans accordingly. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this might cause in conjunction with our assurances of our desire to welcome you for these ceremonies should you decide to attend. Please remember all of the candidates for these offices in your prayers as we approach these dates.

Thank you for continuing to support the Seminary and Stas.org. “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.”
