Theological Seminary in Melbourne

His Grace Bishop Suriel of Melbourne is completing the development of the Theological Seminary in Melbourne and will open it to the general public. Moreover, the Seminary will soon be accredited through His Grace’s leadership.

What a wonderful and awesome endeavor that is greatly needed for our Church and for the public at large.

We ask our Good Savior to continue advancing these efforts for the glory of His Holy Name.

Please check out this wonderful video about the Seminary:

Song about St. Mary’s Annunciation

I am posting the video of this song in honor of St. Mary’s Fast which has started today.  The video was taken in an informal setting late night at Virgin Mary & St. Moses the Strong Abbey in Corpus Christi, Texas.  Hope you all enjoy it and may you have a blessed fast!

This is a quick translation of the song:

In the early morning, while I was praying,

A luminous angel, came and told me,

Peace to you O highly favored,

Exalted above all mankind.

Refrain:

O beautiful angel, How sweet you are,

How luminous you are, How spiritual you are,

Save us from destruction,

O Angel, so beautiful…, O Angel…

I said to my angel, Where did you come from?

I got goosebumps, I’m awestricken,

I’m not married, and I have no husband,

They will stone me, O my angel.

The Holy Spirit will come upon you,

and His power will overshadow you,

and the one who shall be born from you,

The holy one who will be called the Son of the Highest.
