There are many opportunities to deepen your knowledge about the Orthodox Christian faith and spiritual life every week for all ages.
Catechism Class
This is a year-long class for our catechumens who are preparing to be received into the Orthodox Church. In 2024, we are meeting on Tuesdays at 6:00pm. The class is also open to all parishioners and serious inquirers into Orthodoxy. Please contact Fr. Ninos to arrange a visit to attend a class meeting.
The Teachings of the Church
