After-School Electives
Elementary Catechism Class: Lent and Pascha (Ages 8-11)
Description: This catechism session is geared towards elementary students under the age of 11. In this particular session, we will be focusing on a few different things. First, we will be discussing the significance of Great Lent and how we can all get our hearts ready for the Feast of Feasts. We will converse about each week’s specific Sunday throughout the Triodion and how we can learn from each particular Sunday’s lesson.
This season, we will also learn about the Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos.
Following along with a book, we will look at different icons of the Theotokos and discover how they connect with parts of the Akathist. We will read a children’s version of different parts of the Hymn throughout our lessons.
After Pascha, we will continue learning and rejoicing together while examining the Sundays of Pascha.

High School Catechism: (Ages 14-18) Lent & Pascha
Description: Lent is a time when we all want to focus more on our spiritual life, but that is difficult when we are living in the world. We need a way to focus. In addition, did you ever notice that Holy Week and Pascha go by so quickly with all of the preparations for the Feast? Also did you notice that it can be very hard to focus on the readings of each service?
We have something to help! During this Lent, restore your focus with our Orthodox Bible Study. We will be going through the readings appointed for Holy Week and Pascha. We will consistently look at commentaries on the texts from the Fathers of the Church and relate our reading to the everyday life of an Orthodox Christian.
Time: Fridays, 3 PM EST
Price: $125

Middle School Catechism: Lent and Pascha (Ages 11-14)
Description: In this Catechism program, we will begin the fast by deeply reflecting on our ultimate goal during Great Lent through the eyes of humility while cultivating a healthy Orthodox mindset for adolescents. Through read-alouds, Orthodox videos, talks, musical activities, we will learn about the significance of Great Lent’s Sunday Gospels and related Saints of the day such as Saint Mary of Egypt and Gregory Palamas. Additionally, the goal is to embrace the joy of the Paschal season by learning about the Sunday Gospels and related saints of the day such as Thomas Sunday and the paralyzed and blind men.
