Nurturing faith in young hearts
Welcome to the Catechism for Children page at St Maximus the Confessor Theological Centre. Our aim is to provide resources and guidance for parents and children to explore the Orthodox faith together. We invite you to discover our lessons and embrace the teachings of our tradition. Join us on this journey of faith and understanding.
Our Program Coordinator: Mihaela Ilade Amohnoaie
Our virtual catechetical lessons are designed to be engaging and informative for children and their parents. Through stories, pictures, and games, we invite children to embrace the love and wisdom of Orthodox Christianity and learn the way of the Lord.
