		<description><![CDATA[It was a double-blessing to be ordained to the holy diaconate on the Feast of the Annunciation. Not only is that the name of the parish where my family and I began our journey into the Church, but it is also where my confessor and many of my oldest and dearest friends remain. &#160; &#160; [...]]]></description>

After a long distance catechumenate  that lasted over a year and a half, Leah Tindell entered the holy Orthodox Church as Mary (Magdalene).  In the kind of wonderful (apparent) coincidence that I&#8217;m finding comes with being Orthodox, the parish and people that really brought Mary to this point were [...]]]></description>
