A Glorious Day – Baptisms at ASONA

April 6, 2026 By Fr. John Peck [edit]

On Lazarus Saturday, April 4, 2026, 23 catechumens were baptized into the Orthodox faith at All Saints of North America Orthodox Church. This was the largest catechumen class baptized at one time at ASONA (so far!). There are, as of this writing, still 27 catechumens preparing for entrance into the Church for the future! Another catechumen was made on Palm Sunday! God is building the ‘new crew’ of the Church, the Church of Tomorrow is being built today. Glory to Jesus Christ for all things!

Here is a gallery of photos of this event.

If you are interested in joining, see Subdeacon Michael Cassell, our membership coordinator right away!
