Crestwood, NY—On July 15 a memorial service will take place commemorating Fr John Meyendorff. Fr John taught patristics at the seminary from 1959 until his untimely death in 1992, and served as dean from 1984 until 1992. His thirty-three year association with the seminary left an indelible mark on its life, character, and teaching.

Fr John passed away on July 22, 1992; the seminary marks his memory each year on the feast day of its patron, St Vladimir, July 15.

The memorial service (panikhida) will be served immediately following the Divine Liturgy, scheduled at 8:30 AM on July 15, at the Three Hierarchs Chapel on the seminary campus.
