The 2023 Diaconal Liturgical Practicum of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) will be held June 19–23, 2023 on the campus of St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in Yonkers, NY.
The five-day program will offer intense practical liturgical training for deacons and lay diaconal candidates. In addition to liturgical practice, sessions will also cover chanting and vocal technique and address teaching about the Orthodox faith. Sessions will begin Monday evening, June 19, and the Practicum will conclude following Divine Liturgy on Friday, June 23.
The Practicum is a collaboration of the Orthodox Church in America’s Diaconal Vocations Program (DVP) and St Vladimir’s Seminary and is highly recommended by the Holy Synod for participants in the Church’s program and other diaconal formation programs.
