Prior to his appointment as SVS director of recruitment, alumni relations, and outreach nearly five years ago, Father Belonick served as rector of the Church of the Transfiguration, Pearl River, NY, and the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church, Binghamton, NY.

The first theme presentation will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by the Sixth Hour and refreshments. The second presentation will begin at 1:30 p.m. The retreat will end at 3:00 p.m. with closing prayers. Retreat participants will have the opportunity to visit the seminary bookstore and are invited to attend the 6:30 p.m. Vigil service in the school's Three Hierarchs Chapel. While there is no charge for the retreat, pre-registration is required by sending an e-mail to events@svots.edu with "2005 Lenten Retreat" in the subject line. Registrations may also be sent to the seminary by mail to 575 Scarsdale Road, Crestwood, NY 10707.
