Religious Education - Veronauka

The St. Elijah Church Sunday School program focuses on our most important resource, our children. Under the guidance of Fr. Aleksandar and the Sunday School director Mrs. Cynthia Stojic, the program focuses on both the understanding and practicing of moral and spiritual values of our faith. Additionally, our children will learn to embrace the customs and traditions of the Serbian Orthodox culture.

We would like to ask parents to bring their children to our Sunday school regularly and to give them opportunity to learn about Orthodox faith, our identity, customs, and culture. In Sunday school our children will learn basic truths about our Orthodox faith from their teachers. Together with parish priest, and church school director, teachers are working to coordinate the religious curriculum, field trips and special projects that support the enhancement of the Church. We are working closely with the parents in collaborative effort to create outstanding church education for our children. Those children who attended church school regularly had grown to be great leaders and wonderful examples not only in our Serbian Church but in their communities as well.  

For more information or questions regarding our program, please contact Mrs. Cindy Stojic at cstojic01@comcast.net
