Ordination of Vasili Hillhouse at St. John's Church in Beaverton, Oregon

Metropolitan Nikitas (Lulias) of the Dardanelles of the Ecumenical Patriarchate ordained Deacon Vasili Hillhouse to the priesthood this morning at the church I've been attending here in Oregon, St. John the Baptist's in Beaverton. Fr. Vasili was tonsured a reader in Jerusalem in 2000 and spent several years serving as a reader at St. John's before his ordination to the deaconate yesterday and to the priesthood today. If I'm not mistaken he will remain at St. John's until he is assigned a parish by Metropolitan Gerasimos (Michaleas) of San Francisco of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Axios! God grant Fr. Vasili many, many years!
