Sonia had a lifelong commitment to raising up Orthodox Christian leaders who shared her deep love for God and passion for serving others, and this scholarship honors her memory and her impact. In this, our inaugural year of the Sonia Daly Belcher Fund, and thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are awarding two scholarships of $1,750 to two worthy recipients. We wish to warmly congratulate Markella Patitsas, a former teacher and now student at Holy Cross School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts and Christopher Abdelahad, a seminarian at Saint Vladimir’s in Crestwood, New York. We are certain these future servant-leaders will serve the Church with love and dedication, working dutifully in our Lord’s vineyard for years to come. May God grant them many years!
We humbly thank you all for your support in honoring the life and legacy of Sonia Daly Belcher!
