Questions about Seminary Schools?

[Andreas]

My ROCOR Spritiual Father at Holy Trinity, says that you can go to Holy Trinity Seminary striaght out of High School, but you will be there for 5 years. Thats where I want to go to Seminary.

Question: If you go to Mt. Athos, and become a monk there, with no degree from a college either in america or outside of the US or Europe, and you decided that you want to become a Hieromonk, how does that work if your are already tonsured a monk and want to become a priest?
Do they just do Monastery training and teaching and ordaine you after the proper amount of time?

But I think you have to know Russian to attend?

P.S. I thought you were Greek Orthodox?

[PFC Nektarios]

I am antiochian Orthodox, but when I get into the Marine Corps I will start attending the ROCOR parish there because its closer to me, and I will probley do a jurisdictional transfer. We will see what happens.

What does St. John have to do with this? Is that the name of the parish?

I have never attended a Liturgy in a language I knew, so I don't know what the problem is for you?
