Sunday School of Sts. Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church
Welcomes You to the 2017-2018 school year!
Our goal is to make Sunday mornings a fun learning experience for the children. We hope to accomplish this through age-appropriate crafts, songs, discussion and group activities and attending the Divine Liturgy. Living our faith begins with the family. Please lead your children in prayer, make the sign of the cross together, pray the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, etc. at home and as we reinforce this at Sunday School.

- It is very important to notify the teachers if your child is not prepared to receive Holy Communion.
