From February 1 -2 , a few seminarians and instructors visited the Nativity of Christ parish in Erie, Pennsylvania. Seminarians were given the opportunity to see services performed according to pre-Nikonian liturgical regulations. In their Russian Church history courses, Seminarians are currently studying the Patriarch Nikon reforms.

Following Sunday's Liturgy, Dr. Vitaly Permiakov gave a lecture to the parish about historical liturgical practices.
