Church School Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year

The Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival is an opportunity for our young people to learn more about their faith and to be able to articulate that understanding. The Oratorical Festival takes place yearly in all of our Greek Orthodox parishes throughout the United States. At Saint Paul’s, it has also become a tradition to include a non-competitive Youth category for 3rd-6th grades, joining our 7th-12th grade speakers. This year, our Parish Festival will take place on Sunday, March 23, immediately following Divine Liturgy and classes.
Students in the Elementary category may speak on any topic of their choice, with a recommended length of 1 minute to 90 seconds. Representative speakers from St. Paul’s in the Junior and Senior divisions will participate in the District Festival, which will take place in April. From there, one Junior and Senior speaker will move on to the Metropolis festival at St. Nicholas Ranch on May, 10. We ask parents to encourage their students to take part in a valuable component of our religious education program. It will involve a minimal amount of their time, but the rewards can last a lifetime! Teachers in our 3rd through 12th grade classes will be assisting their students with the speech topics and prompts.
