Student Formation Program

On Friday morning, 6 June 2025, His Grace Bishop Iakovos of Miletoupolis, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of St George, Yellow Rock, served the Paraklesis Service in the College Chapel and then addressed the Bachelor of Theology students as part of their Formation program. His Grace’s reflections centred on the Sayings of the Desert Fathers, especially the exhortations of St Anthony the Great. Some fundamental principles of the spiritual life were highlighted and ample opportunity was given for discussion on their application to everyday life as well as to the students’ special calling in theology.
