On Sunday, December 28, 2008,  Rodion Aragon was ordained to the diaconate by His Grace Bishop George of Mayfield in the Cathedral of Holy Trinity Monastery. Rodion is  a first year seminarian at Holy Trinity Seminary from Costa Rica. God willing Father Rodion will be ordained to the priesthood  in the near future so that he may serve and begin a new parish in Coronado, Costa Rica. Preparations for a new church are being made in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. May God help him and strengthen him in his new service to the Church.
