Our Three Hierarchs parish family currently offers ministries to our youngest parishioners in the following ways:

Children's Religious Education-- Church (Sunday) School         

Our Church School classes are conducted from the Sunday after Labor Day until the Sunday following Mother's Day (September-May). The children worship together with their families during the Divine Liturgy that begins promptly at 9:30am.

Following the reception of Holy Communion, the children depart for their classes that are conducted until the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy. Our religious education staff uses the most up to date materials from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Department of Religious Education.

In addition to classroom instruction, the children engage in practical learning by participating in different processions and Feasts throughout the ecclesiastical year. Our lay supervisor of the church school program is Mr. Aidan Roseberry, who is assisted by the teachers of Pre-K; K-2- 3rd-4th grades; 5th-6th grades; Jr. High & High School.

Registration for the 2009-2010 children's religious education year will be held on Sundays, August 16th, 23rd, and 30th.  

Acolytes (Altar Boys)

Boys at least 11 years of age are invited to serve in the area of the Holy Altar as acolytes. (The word acolyte is derived from the Greek- "akoloutho"- which means to "follow") The boys follow the direction of the celebrant priest and the adult lay assistants in the area of the Holy Altar.

Currently, we have two groups of acolytes who serve on alternating Sundays. Father Michael offers training for the boys on a quarterly basis and has a special session for them prior to Holy Week. Our lay leader for the acolytes is Mr. Chris Stoops.

Our first meeting of the new ecclesiastical year will be held on Sunday, September 13th. following the Divine Liturgy. 

Myrrhbearers (Myrofores)                                                                                        

We also have a participatory program for girls age 9 and older known as the "Myrrhbearers." The Myrrhbearers dress in a special way and assist in the processions of Palm Sunday evening (Brides of Christ) and on Holy & Great Friday, along with other special occasions (Feasts) throughout the year. Our lay leader of the Myrrhbearers is Mrs. Toni Laros.

Family Nights                                                                                                    

This past year, our Ladies Philoptochos (Friends of the Poor) sponsored several "Family Nights" for our parish family. The program included a movie containing a spiritual message; a discussion, along with pizza; popcorn and snacks. Proceeds from the Family Nights are sent to local charities.
