Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
“Train up a child in the way he should; and when he is old, he will
not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
While this applies to many aspects of your child’s learning, it is especially important as it relates to their Christian education. It is here that our children learn the eternal truth of love and service to our Lord, and it is here that our children gain the tools necessary to navigate the challenging times in which we live.
Until our Christian Education Department finishes its own curicullum, this year we have a number of recommend the resources below. Find the grade level needed for your parish, review the sample, and order the materials needed in your community. Our hope is that throughout the course of the year our children will not only participate in Divine Liturgy, but grow ever closer to our Lord Jesus Christ as they complete their schoolwork at church school and at home.
If your parish is need of any guidance or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me - I am always available as a resource for your teachers, parents, and students.
Be sure to check our Diocesan Webpage, and also to bookmark our Christian Educaiton Department webpage, so that you can dicover the many opportunities we have to bring our children together for fun and learning.
