Leader Bio:
Fr. Cassian (Samuel) Sibley was born in Ft. Worth,TX, but moved to Malawi, East Africa at age 8, where his parents were Protestant missionaries until their retirement. He returned to Texas after his graduation from Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, Kenya, and received an undergraduate degree in Social Studies and English from Houston Baptist University. He was awarded a Presidential Scholarship to Rice University where he pursued graduate studies in Philosophy and Religion.
He and Matushka Olympia were married in 1991, and their daughter, Madeline, was born in 1993. The family converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity in 1994. After a decade long career as a social worker, working with the homeless in Houston and as a juvenile caseworker for the Texas Youth Commission, he was ordained a priest in 2001. He was the founding rector of this parish, which he has served since 2004. For several years he was a Chaplain at Texas A&M, and has served on the Spiritual Court for the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
Deeply concerned about environmental sustainability, social ethics, and distributive justice, Fr. Cassian's lay vocation includes being the principal gardener for a small organic CSA (consumer supported agriculture), raising food for his family and parishioners, and working his way off the grid.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
