On 9 January 2006, Bishop Feofan of Stavropol and Vladikavkaz baptized over one hundred pupils of boarding schools in the cathedral church of St.Andrew the Apostle.

The Stavropol diocese press service reports that children aged 7-18 came to the city from the Petrovsky and Novoselitsky districts of the Stavropol territory. It was children’s decision to become Orthodox Christians and they were introduced to the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith.

Students of the Stavropol Theological seminary stood Godparents. Bishop of Stavropol and Vladikavkaz noted that care for children lacking parental care was natural for the Russian Orthodox Church. ‘The Stavropol diocese cares for the orphans both spiritually and socially by opening Orthodox orphanages’, Bishop Feofan said.

After Baptism, pupils of the boarding schools went to a Christmas party given by the bishop. Attending the party were over seven hundred children: pupils of Sunday parish schools, orphans and children from poor families from the Stavropol Territory and other subjects of the Federation that are part of the diocese.
