To whom it may concern,
My name is Fr. Stephen Arabadjis. I am a member of the Society of St. Pius X. But I am in my 8th year of Sabbatical.
Therefore I was hoping your group could do a 54 day rosary novena for my intentions. But any prayers and sacrifices would be greatly appreciated. I know Our Lady will reward you generously for this.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis
P.S. Thanking you in advance, since I don’t always get all my communications.
Hi Father. Welcome to the Forum!
Is a Sabbatical the same thing as retirement? (Pardon my ignorance : )
No, it is a period of rest.
You’ve been resting for 8 years?
It’s a period of rest from the priestly ministry. Now I have been on this rest for 8 years for no delict of my own. Hence the need for prayers.
I will Pray. And I encourage others to Pray as well. I would love to hear your story (and maybe it would not be prudent for you to share it at this moment in time, but maybe someday you can share).
Thank you very much.
Dear Cade,
I wrote my vocation story for another inquirer and asked if I could forward the emails to you. But he turned it into a journal. So that is the attachment below.
I didn’t go into why I was put on Sabbatical, nor what I have done during the Sabbatical. These details are delicate and personal by nature.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis

Dear Cade,
I tried twice to send you my vocation story, but it failed twice.
So I put it on the forum itself under General, with 2 installments: “My vocation story 1”, and “My vocation story 2”.
In Our Lady,
Fr. Arabadjis
