“Baptized 15 yesterday. May the Lord bless!” writes Archpriest Joseph Honeycutt, rector of St. Joseph Orthodox Church.

This blessed event is just one of the latest in the wave of Orthodox conversions across America in the past few years.

The parish website also lists 56 who are still catechumens.

OrthoChristian previously reported on Holy Theophany Church (OCA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that is also experiencing considerable growth.
