New catechumen - July 6, 2025

On Sunday, July 6, Joshua was received into the catechumenate. Please keep him in your prayers as he is preparing to enter into the community of Christ's Church.

Fr. Aleksey and Joshua standing in the vestibule of the church. One of the double front doubles in the background, behind Joshua, is open. Fr. Aleksey is wearing a white vestment and has his back towards the camera. His hand is placed on top of Joshua's head while he looks slightly to the left, likely reading from a prayer book. Joshua is wearing a burnt-orange-colored shirt. There's a stained glass half-circle above the double doors, with wood between the green and brown glass pieces such that the wood pieces form what looks like the top half of a sun, with rays projected outward, and the glass pieces are between each of the rays.

Fr. Aleksey and Joshua are staking in the vestibule of the church as in the previous photo, but Joshua is now reading from a paper or prayer book in this hand. A coupple of men are partially visible behind him and outside the door of the church. There's another man in the vestibule, to Fr. Aleksey's left, and in the lower left corner of the photo, who is looking at Joshua.
