Message
from the Director
Welcome
to the Sunday School informational page! My name is Andrea
Faches and I am the director of the Sunday School for 2008-2009. On
this page you will find the curriculum we are using for each grade, the
teachers' names, major Sunday School events and other pertinent Sunday School
information. Please contact
me if you have any questions or comments. We are regularly looking to
improve the quality of our program and are eager for parent volunteers.
If you are interested in offering your time and talents to our Sunday School
program, please contact me. We need homeroom parents, substitute teachers
and people to review and further develop our curricula.
Classes begin right after communion and end at noon. Please help to make
sure that the students and teachers get in line for communion first so that
they won't be late for class! We appreciate your support!

Introduced
in 1983, the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival provides Greek
Orthodox teenagers the opportunity to write and talk about their faith.
The Oratorical Festival Program begins at the Parish Level and is
divided into two divisions; the Junior Division for students in the
7th to 9th grades and the Senior Division for teenagers in the 10th
to 12th grades.
All
eighteen finalists at the Archdiocese Finals participate in a weekend
of activities, the highlight of which is the delivery of their speeches
on Saturday morning. The Oratorical Festival Scholarship Foundation
provides college scholarships in the amount of $2000, $1500, and $1000
to the top three speakers in each division. In addition, those finalists
who receive a rank of Honorable Mention are awarded a $500 United
States Savings Bond.Oratorical Festival 2009
