Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival

The Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival provides teenagers the opportunity to learn, write, and speak about their Orthodox Faith, Church, and Heritage. This process will enhance their understanding and appreciation of their identity as Greek Orthodox Christians, and will cultivate spiritual growth and maturity.

Holy Friday Retreat

A spiritual retreat is held for students, where they will grow in their awareness of our Savior Jesus Christ in their lives. Our children learn about their faith and Orthodox life, sing religious and liturgical hymns and express their creativity in arts and crafts. The retreat ends with the participation in the 3pm Friday afternoon service of “Taking Christ Down From the Cross.”

OCMC Coin Boxes

Each year during Great Lent, the Orthodox Christian Missions Center distributes Lenten Missions Boxes to Orthodox Churches throughout the country. The Orthodox Christian Missions Center is a Pan-Orthodox administrative body which coordinates the charitable activities for Orthodox throughout the world. A box is given to each student at the beginning of Lent. It is hoped that during the Lenten period, the student will make the effort to fill the box with monies earned through chores or allowances and in doing so assist others who are in need of our financial assistance. The sacrifice of a few coins a day could then accumulate to a substantial amount by the time the boxes are collected after Pascha.
