Reader Andrew Kashevarof and wife Alexandra is shown in the photograph.
St. John's has sponsored Reader Andrew for the past two years. He is a seminarian attending St. Herman's Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska, and is expected to graduate next year. However, he will be required to remain at the Seminary for one year following his graduation. During that year he will be working closely with senior clergy, assisting with the education of other students, and will be participating more fully in Hospital and Prison Ministry. Alexandra has been active in the substance abuse programs in Kodiak. Further news of Reader Andrew and his family will be posted in the future. Your prayers for him and his family and for their work in Kodiak are appreciated.
