I took the family down to Houston for the ordination of Subdeacon Andrew Veres to the diaconate. As is often the case in areas where one's liturgy is not the dominant one, the event was full of people who had no idea what they were doing. The divine liturgy and ordination went smoothly as did the celebration at a local hotel ballroom afterwards.
A picture taken by my wife who snuck outside while the congregation sat waiting for the entrance.
Midway through the liturgy Subdeacon Andrew processed up to the altar.
During the ordination. You also see Fr. Bogda (director of vocations for the archeparchy).
The new deacon vested with the orarion.
The clergy, the deacon's family, and those that served the altar.
And a final, closing picture of my youngest daughter in what I hope will be an outfit she'll find wearable in her later years!

Great post, thanks.
ReplyDeletethese photos make me miss Divine Liturgy. I can only go every 3 weeks bc we dont have a parish. We are a mission church and our priest lives 4 hours away.
ReplyDeleteNow that saddens me. I was born in NC and want to go back for vacation this year or next. Maybe I'll make it to the mission when I come. Send me the location and DL times info and I'll advertise on the blog. :)
