Rev. Fr. Charles Allen
Priest
Bio
I am an Orthodox hieromonk (a monk that has been ordained as a priest), serving as a priest poustinik affiliated with the Old Rite Orthodox Church (formerly known as the “Russian Orthodox Church in Communion with Rome” – ROCCR). We are a strand of the “Old Believers” or “Old Rite Brethren”.
Although I am retired due to chronic illness, I still have many obligations related to the priesthood. Under the mantle of my bishop, Aleksandar in Philadelphia, I maintain bi-ritual faculties, which means that I celebrate the liturgy for both the Old Rite Orthodox Church (all Sacraments) and the Roman Catholic Church (Mass, Confession, Unction).
