Father Deacon Mathew

Father Deacon Mathew has been a devoted member of the Archangel Diocese since 1997, offering nearly three decades of steady service and prayerful presence within our community. In 2016, he embraced the monastic calling and was rasphored as a monk, committing himself to a life of deeper spiritual discipline and obedience.

On Lazarus Saturday, 2025, he was ordained to the Holy Diaconate, continuing his ministry at the Holy Altar with humility, reverence, and a sincere love for the Church.

Throughout his years with us, Father Deacon Mathew has been known for his faithful participation in the liturgical life, his dedication to ongoing study of the Orthodox faith, and his consistent willingness to serve wherever he is needed. His quiet constancy and devotion continue to strengthen and inspire the faithful of the Archangel Diocese.
