Saint Tikhon’s Seminary here recently announced the establishment of the LuAnn Motel Scholarship Fund by the Motel family—husband Donald; sons Dr. Peter Motel, Andrew Motel, Esq. and Stephen Motel; and daughter Dr. Marta Motel Grewell—in loving memory of their wife and mother LuAnn.

According to Archpriest Dennis Swencki, Seminary CFO and Development Director, the scholarship will aid one or more female students enrolled in the Master of Divinity Program at Saint Tikhon’s.

LuAnn’s life was a living tribute to the service of others in her Church life, as one of the founding members and later warden of Saint Herman’s Church, Gradyville, PA, as well as in her professional life as an oncology nurse at Philadelphia’s Hahnemann Hospital.  What set her apart, much like the Myrrhbearing Women, was her incredible strength and lack of fear, regardless of the cross laid before her.  She was an inspiration to all who knew her, and the establishment of this scholarship fund in her memory is a true testimony of the incredible love and respect of her family, who will continue to honor her by helping others complete their seminary studies and go on to serve the Church.

Initial funding of this scholarship of $25,000.00 has been given by the Motel Family.  “Anyone may contribute to this fund, and even the smallest gift will allow us to continue to help our female students and encourage more to consider attending the seminary,” Father Dennis added.

For additional information please contact Father Dennis at 570-561-1818, ext. 7.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
