Christian Education

An open Bible

Homily classes are offered for the children of our parish. Church School classes are offered the children, youth, and adults. In the fall of 2022, a new curriculum was introduced for the children and youth, covering Church History, Sacraments, Old Testament, and Gospels over a 4-year cycle.

Fellowship Meals

Our “agape meal” following the Divine Liturgy is a happy and important time of getting to know one another and growing closer together as a parish.

Building and Grounds

Through our “Adopt-A-Job” program, a team of faithful workers attends to weekly responsibilities to keep our buildings clean. In addition, the Men’s Fellowship works to maintain and beautify our grounds.
