Another one to consider is a seminary under the Carpatho-Russian diocese, Christ the Savior Seminary in Johnstown. It's emphasis is expressly on producing priests who are effective pastors. As a result, it is not so much scholarly as it is practical. The Carpatho-Russian church is growing rapidly, and we are very happy there.

Tell your reasons why, guys?:)

Well first off it's in my state. good ol' PA.

secondly, My spiritual Father went there, our chior director went there, and we have a seminarian going there now, and they all say wonderful things about St. Tikhons.

Thirdly, I know that they teach Orthodoxy there. I've heard some horror stories about other seminaries and I wanna stick with what I know.

Lastly, I'm in the late vocations class right now and according to my spiritual father (He's teaching the class) his notes for the class are straight from a teacher there, Theodore Heckman, And I would like to have him as a teacher.

Don't want to forget the small but effective and wholly Orthodox St. Herman's My parish priest is a graduate. They are heavily liturgical, and Alaska is the birthplace of American Orthodoxy!
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios.

I ALMOST went to Christ the Saviour Seminary. I was accepted to attend, but then things happened that made it clear to me that I shouldn't try to go to seminary again (remember I already spent a year in Roman Seminary).
