Beginning of the Academic Year at St. Herman Seminary

Sept. 7-9 2004

His Grace travelled to Kodiak to officially open the new academic year. The schedule included an orientation retreat, daily services and meals together in the trapeza. Enrollment continues to grow and now St. Herman Seminary dormitory space is at full capacity. His Grace, Bishop NIKOLAI continues in his resolve not to charge tutition for students as the Diocese pursues the task of educating future priests and church workers.
