The Sunday School of St. Mary’s Indian Orthodox Church, Lucan, is at the heart of our parish life. It provides children with a nurturing space to grow in faith, learn the teachings of Christ, and experience the rich worship and traditions of the Orthodox Church in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate.
Through prayer, scripture, songs, and interactive lessons, children are guided to build a strong foundation in Christian living. Just as importantly, it also connects them to the wider parish community, fostering friendships, fellowship, and a sense of belonging within the Body of Christ.
The classes range from Kindergarten to 12th Grade and are divided into four stages:
Secondary level concludes after Class 10, with students awarded the Sunday School Final Certificate. Higher Secondary continues for two additional years.
In addition, once a month, children also attend an English Holy Qurbana as part of their spiritual formation and to build familiarity with the liturgy in the language they use daily.
Our curriculum follows the Orthodox Syrian Sunday School Association of the East (OSSAE – UK, Europe & Africa Diocese). Lessons are conducted in English and cover:
Parents are encouraged to take an active role in reinforcing lessons at home. Daily family prayers, Bible reading, and participation in Holy Qurbana complement the Sunday School experience and strengthen children’s faith.
Our teachers are committed parish members trained in the Orthodox tradition. They serve as mentors, guiding children not only in academics of faith but also in living as true witnesses of Christ.
