Philip said "Do you understand what you are reading?" The Ethiopian nobleman said, "How can I understand unless I have someone to guide me?" (Acts 8:31)

The new eccleciastical year which begins with the 1st of September also marks the beginning of the various programs vital to the spiritual growth and development of our Church family.
The Religious Education program and more specifically our Church School program is our number one priority.
It is the duty of all Christians, clergy and laity alike to see that our children receive proper religious instructions, in order that they may live and practice our HOLY ORTHODOX FAITH daily throughout their earthly lives.
As teachers of our Church School, it is our sincere desire to help our young people discover a more meaningful experience of Orthodox worship as it is expressed in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. It is our desire that through their studies, they learn and practice the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. In practicing their faith, their love for Christ will fill their beings and help them to meet the challenges of life with a better understanding and a genuine Christian commitment to the Lord.
With love in Christ Jesus,
Rev. Fr. George D. Tsoukalas
Protopresbyter
