Welcome

There's an exciting year on the way for those of you in the High School class at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church.

Last year (and maybe the year before that, and maybe even the year before that), you studied the Young Church with Fr. Deacon Artemios.

We will be studying the modern Church. As in the Orthodox Church of TODAY. OUR Church.

Some questions we'll encounter:

Why are there so many different kinds of Orthodox churches in Pittsburgh?

Does the Republic of Georgia have a Patriarch? What IS a patriarch? What is the Republic of Georgia?

Who is our bishop these days?

What is a Greek Catholic (and are WE Greek Catholic?)?

What's the difference between diples and bybalki? (just kidding)

What is Mount Athos, anyway?

Who are WE?

I look forward to an exciting year of exploring our Church!

If you have any questions, email me.
