Youth
Catechism
Christ said, "Let the children come to
me." With that spirit, Saint Theophan the
Recluse maintained that "of all holy works,
the education of children is the most holy."
That ethic is our goal at St. Nektarios Greek
Orthodox Church. We offer Youth Catechism in
our faith each Sunday following communion from
May to September. Starting with our three-year-old
class, and continuing through high school graduation,
all young people are welcomed as we journey
together towards spiritual strength.
St. Nektarios features a rotation curriculum
that reinforces the important themes of our
faith: Lives of the Saints, Major Feast Days,
The Divine Liturgy, and The Sacraments. In this
manner, children are exposed to each topic several
times during their studies, at various levels
of maturity, fostering a deeper understanding
and knowledge base. We strive to incorporate
many community activities that illustrate our
living of the Orthodox faith outside the classroom
as well.
Our catechetical team is dedicated to the future
of our faith: our children.
