Many years to Archpriest Vladimir!

04/08/2011

On the feast of the Holy Royal Martyrs, His Eminence Archbishop Mark elevated Priest Vladimir Vilgerts to the rank of Archpriest.  Father Vladimir has been a faithful and hard-working servant to the Church and particularly to the cathedral parish since his installation as associate rector of the cathedral.  He is an asset to our diocese.  Please pray for him in his ministry that it may continue to bear fruit.
