The Administration, Faculty, and Staff of the Antiochian House of Studies (AHOS) extend their heartfelt congratulations to His Grace, the Right Reverend Peter Karakozoff, on his election to the episcopacy in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR).

AHOS gives thanks to Almighty God for the gracious gift of the Holy Spirit bestowed upon His Grace through this sacred election. We are deeply honored that one of our alumni has been called to the fullness of apostolic ministry within the Holy Orthodox Church.

By the wisdom and providence of God, His Grace pursued his theological formation at AHOS, where he distinguished himself not only through diligent study, but also by the example of faith, humility, and devotion he offered as a student. His life and vocation stand as a testimony to faithful obedience and spiritual maturity.

With gratitude and joy, we offer our prayers for his ministry and proclaim with confidence and love:
