Novice Nun

With the blessing of Archbishop KYRILL of San Francisco, Eva McClellan, daughter of Edward and Pamela McClellan, and a long time Vashon Islander, was clothed as a novice nun during a service preceding the Sunday, 23 March, celebration of the Divine Liturgy. The service was conducted by the monastery’s superior, Father Tryphon, in the Protection of the Holy Virgin Monastery Temple, on the grounds of All-Merciful Saviour Orthodox Monastery.

Sister Eva was born in Portland, Oregon, moving to Tacoma, Washington, at the age of three. She and her family moved to Shelton, WA. when she turned thirteen years old, where she completed her high school education. Sister Eva converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church while living in St. Louis, MO. Sister Eva, who works as a private care giver on the island, will continue to live in a private home, until such time as a permanent location can be found for an Orthodox monastery of women on Vashon Island.
