Fr. Joshua Pappas

 

Fr. Joshua Pappas

Fr. Joshua was raised in Minneapolis, MN and attended Davidson College in North Carolina, where he studied religion and economics. After working several years in the corporate world, he left to pursue a call to the priesthood.

From 2011 - 2015, Fr. Joshua completed an MDiv at Holy Cross Seminary in Boston, MA. There, he and Presvytera Joanna were married. They lived for a year in Thessaloniki, Greece, before being assigned to Archangel Michael Church in Port Washington, NY (Long Island) in 2016. They have been serving Holy Trinity in Grand Rapids since 2019.

Fr. Joshua and Presvytera Joanna have three children: Aimilianie, Chrysostom, and Porphyria (Pia). 

Among his pastoral interests, Fr. Joshua has a special interest in Orthodoxy’s contemplative focus: hesychasm (silence), nepsis (vigilance), repentance, and the inner life of healing / illumination.
