UPDATED: St. Tikhon's Mission Choir Begins Wirlwind West Coast Mid-Winter Tour

St. Tikhon’s Seminary Mission Choir will be visiting the West Coast of the US during seminary winter break, in early January. The choir, accompanied by Archpriest Steven Voytovich, Seminary Dean, will visit a number of parishes including  those in the Orthodox Church in America and Antiochian Archdiocese from January 3-11, 2015.  

This is the first visit to the West Coast in a number of years for the seminary.  Two of the current Mission Choir members reside on the West Coast, and they began conversations  with local parishes about a potential trip over the summer months while at home which led in part to the current plans.

Please check back to our website regularly during the coming days to follow the Mission Choir on their parish visitations.
