ORTHODOXY 101
2025-26 Sunday Schedule
Orthodoxy 101 is held after Holy Communion
Location: Chapel of St. Basil
Host: John Johns, Cathedral Catechist
Welcome! New to Orthodoxy? The Orthodoxy 101 class is a weekly class of introduction to the Orthodox faith. We meet in the Chapel of Saint Basil on Sunday mornings at the time the faithful receive communion at about 11:00am. There is an expectation that you have attended the Divine Liturgy from 9:30am. Class will last about one hour. After class you are invited to our coffee hour to share in fellowship with our Orthodox community. We have an open-door policy regarding the classes so that no fees are charged nor concern if you miss a lesson here or there. The main theme is Orthodox mindset (Phronema). Come when you can and bring your questions. In addition our clergy, Father Jordan and Father Michael, will separately have question and answer sessions for those interested in becoming an Orthodox Christians.
