A week after the Nativity in the Church of  St. Seraphim of Sarov in  the Synodal Compound Montreal, Canada, Archbishop Vladimir ordained monk Vitaly as Deacon. Father Vitaly has pursued asceticism at the Holy Transfiguration Skete, fulfilling obediences in the choir and in various other works. Now to his other obediences has been added the high calling of service at the throne of God. May Fr. Vitaly faithfully serve the Lord in holy orders for many years!
