PARISH
This is the first Church School Program for the St. Sophia Russian Orthodox Church. The Sister Parish for this project is Annunciation Orthodox Church in Brick, NJ, led by Father Gary Breton and Matushka Mary Buletza. Training for Amelia was coordinated through the Antiochian and OCA Archdiocese Department of Christian Education. Church school materials are being provided by the Sister Parish in Brick, NJ.
It is expected that this Sister Parish Church School Project will become a model for other Alaska parishes. A waiting list is being developed for future "Sister Parish" projects. If you are interested in particpating in this program, contact us.
