We are very pleased to announce that with the blessing of His Eminence
Metropolitan Nicholas, His Grace Bishop Spyridon, and His Grace Bishop Luke,
all the programs and classes currently offered by the Pastoral School will be
incorporated into the Holy Trinity Seminary’s academic offerings effective for the fall 2026 semester, 

and the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America will discontinue operating the Pastoral School.

Students enrolled in the Pastoral School will see no changes since all the course
offerings, instructors, and the online delivery method will not change.

This effort, which was initiated over a year ago, is the result of the cooperation of
personnel from both the Seminary and the Pastoral School all working together
towards the goal of consolidating all the ROCOR Orthodox academic programs at
the Holy Trinity Seminary.

Look for additional information, which will be shared in the weeks and months to
come!
