Chrismation, and budget

We congratulate and welcome Dr. Thomas Di Martino upon his reception Sunday into the Orthodox Church, by Baptism and Chrismation, February 6th at St. George's.

            Since the early years of the mission station in Edenton, Tom has been exemplary in his dedicated support and promotion of its work and his faithful participation in its life.

            Pursuant to Orthodox practice since the 1st & 2nd centuries, Tom was preparing during the recent months as a catechumen (i.e., a professed Christian being instructed) particularly, by attending services and by studying and growing in the Faith.
