“You are a Priest Forever…”
Axios and congratulations to Fr. Thomas and Preotessa Sophia Frisby on the occasion of Fr. Thomas’ ordination to the Holy Priesthood. Fr. Thomas, who was ordained a deacon by His Eminence, Archbishop Nathaniel, on January 1st traveled to Dormition Monastery in Rives Junction, MI for retreat for two weeks. On Sunday, Jan. 15th, at the Descent of the Holy Ghost Romanian Orthodox Church in Merrillville, IN the archbishop once again laid hands upon Fr. Thomas and elevated him to the Holy Priesthood.
Our beloved Fr. Bill Clark, friend and mentor to Fr. Thomas, was present as were a multitude of other clergy, many of whom concelebrated the blessed event. Fr. Thomas is now assigned to Descent of the Holy Ghost parish and will be returning to Arizona some time in the spring to visit us! He was also elevated to the rank of Confessor (a priest who has permission to hear confessions), so you will see him outside the altar being blessed for that.
Axios!
Here are some photos from the big day!
