Pensacola, FL - Candidate for Priesthood

September 27, 2012

COLLEYVILLE, TX. September 27, 2012 -- God willing, on Sunday, October 14, 2012, the St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church in Pensacola will be blessed with an ordination of a new priest. The candidate to be is Deacon Robert Erian. We ask for your prayers in the fulfillment of God's will for this blessed event.

"The work of the priesthood is done on earth, but it is ranked among heavenly ordinances. And this is only right, for no man, no angel, no archangel, no other created power, but the Paraclete Himself ordained this succession, and persuaded men, while still remaining in the flesh to represent the ministry of angels."
- St. John Chrysostom, On the Priesthood
