It was in the last day our priest remained with us before moving away. So please pray for me and for my parish while we wait for a new priest to come.
I think we are getting a new one by May but we are having temporary priests coming every week.Glory to God! So happy for you!
Are there already plans in place for a priest to come? (Forgive me please if you've already posted about this - I've been missing a lot lately!)
Prayers for you and your parish and priest-to-be!

Just like when I was rushing a frat.OP: Now on week 3 of your catechumenate, you will learn our secret handshake. Week 6 you learn the secret passwords. Week 7 you get hazed or thrown in a dumpster. Week 10 we force you to eat a whole jar of Vegemite. If you can endure the Feats of Strength and Airing of Grievances, you're IN!

A catechumen is defined as “one receiving instruction in the basic doctrines of Christianity before admission to communicant membership in the Church.”David, what does this mean? I wanted to congratulate you but I don't know what I'm celebrating.

So I will be learning and growing on the faith before joining the Orthodox Church.
I will need to talk to my priest about it, it is different according to how your faith is.That's wonderful! Congratulations. How long does the process take?

that depends on the person and what that person needs. I have known some as short as a few weeks to as long as a number of years. generally, like 99 times out of 100, it's about a year-ish. mine was about 9 months.
Thank you for your insight. I'm not conversant in your teachings but I've enjoyed what I've read thus far. There is an element of peace in this area that I appreciate.
