[img_assist|nid=29085|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=300|height=388]In September of 1794, a group of ten monks from the Valaam Monastery in Russia arrived on Kodiak Island, Alaska to begin what would become one of the greatest missionary endeavors in the history of Orthodox Christianity. This year is the 225 th anniversary of that mission to North America, and St. Vladimir’s Seminary is co-sponsoring a special event with Mother of God Orthodox Church, Princeton, NJ to mark the occasion.

[img_assist|nid=29063|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=300|height=388]St. Vladimir's Seminary hears you. You want to know what the Seminary is doing to make sure the next leader at your parish is being formed and educated the right way, because their future ministry will affect you, your family, and your church. That's why we want you to hear face-to-face how we are raising up servants for the Orthodox Church—and why we have "doubled down" on our commitment to residential life for our seminarians. Of course, YOU are the reason this commitment to your future church leaders is possible. Consider becoming a sponsor, and let's take on this important work together.
