The number of catechumens at All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, continues to swell.

In September, OrthoChristian reported that the parish had more than 160 catechumens, 32 of whom were baptized on January 11.

And on Sunday, February 15, the parish reported that 83 more people became catechumens the previous Sunday, bringing the total number to 215.

All Saints, under the pastoral care of Fr. David Winn, is one of many parishes experiencing explosive growth in recent years.

“Glory to God for all things! People are seeking Christ and finding Him in the Orthodox Church! Please keep our catechumens in your prayers as they prepare to be received into the Church!” the parish writes.

The parish published a Facebook video showing all of the many catechumens gathered around the ambo.
