St. George Greek Orthodox Church
Dear Parents and students:
Let me take this opportunity to
welcome you to another year full of learning and fun
activities for all of us, as well as spiritual growth.
If you are new to our community, we
offer
Catechism School services immediately after Communion every
Sunday, except for Youth Sunday. The third Sunday of each
month has been designated as such, and Fr. Michael dedicates
his entire sermon to speaking to our Youth.
Our
Catechism School this year has been divided into 5 age
groups:
-
Pre-K – 1st Grade Program
(4-6 years old) Our little ones will
be introduced to the Orthodox Faith. We will learn about
the Divine Liturgy, and what we do when we enter God’s
House. The teacher will be Julie Kallivrousis.
-
2nd - 4th Grades
(7-9 years old) – This curious age group will take a
Journey through our Church, learning about the Divine
Liturgy and the Sacraments of Confession and Communion.
The Teacher will be Evi Bivins.
-
5th – 8th Grades
(10-13 years old) - This age group will have a
weekly theme. Each week they
will discuss the lives of the Saints that are being
celebrated as well as explore the Feast Days, and the
sacraments including the importance of confession,
forgiveness, preparing for communion.
The teacher will be Christine Ritter.
-
9th – 12th and Young Adults
(14-17 years) –The teens/young adults will
be exploring and learning about the Sacraments. The
teacher will be Juan Lojo.
We look forward to our Youth’s
participation again this year each and every Sunday. We
believe that with our Catechism school service, our children
have an opportunity to learn about our faith, and also enjoy
being with other children their age. We would also welcome
anyone that would like to join us in teaching these young
minds or just participate.
We hope that you will join us in nurturing their young minds
and souls and support us in our goal of keeping our children
away from evil. After all, they are our future!
Regards,
