The Seminary’s spring Melkite Week was held from February 3-6 and was yet another great success.  There were three presenters: Fr Christopher Emanuele, administrator of the Steubenville Melkite Mission, Fr Thomas Moses, chancellor of the Eparchy of Newton and an alumnus of our Seminary, class of 2017, and Fr Michael Coppenhagen.  In addition to the many liturgical services celebrated in the Melkite Rite, there were seminars on a variety of topics: Spiritual Roles of Orthros & Vespers, Leadership Qualities, Organizational Structure of the Diocese of Newton, Discerning Marriage and Ordination, Family life as a layman and priest, and Ministerial Issues and Shepherding Souls.  A Melkite Week is scheduled in both the fall and spring semesters, and greatly enriches the liturgical, academic, and spiritual aspects of formation for our entire Seminary community.
