In the Footsteps of Sts. Peter and Paul

“May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?” – Acts 17:19
Every year, each class of transitional Deacons takes a pilgrimage in January before returning for their final semester at the seminary. This year, Fr. Charlie Samson, Assistant Professor of Biblical Theology, is leading the men across Greece and Rome in the footsteps of Sts. Peter and Paul. Joined by Fr. Paul Hoesing and Fr. Shane Deman, our Rector and Vice-Rector, the men receive a conference-style lecture at each location followed by a silent holy hour.

Pictured above, the men are gathered outside the Areopagus in Athens where St. Paul preached the Gospel to the great philosophers of the time. After seeing around Athens altars to an “unknown God,” Paul proclaimed, at this location, the person of Jesus Christ (Acts 17). Please pray for the men as they continue their journey on this apostolic pilgrimage!
