Sunday School
All children three and older are invited to attend Sunday School immediately following Liturgy. The adults are asked to allow the children and teachers to venerate the Cross first, so they can get their lunch and take it to the Sunday School building for opening exercises. Middle and High School students should eat their food in the parish hall and not plan to eat their food in Father Gregory’s home during Sunday School.
