In Petrozavodsk again opens the doors of Sunday school at the Holy Cross Cathedral

From October 4, 2026, the educational center at the Holy Cross Cathedral – the Sunday School named after St. John of Kronstadt resumes its work. The decision to start the educational process was made with the blessing of Metropolitan Constantine of Petrozavodsk and Karelian.

Lessons will be held weekly on Sundays, immediately after the completion of the Divine Liturgy, in the building of the parish house. We invite everyone who seeks to study the Orthodox tradition more deeply. Children are admitted to Sunday school from the age of six.

A preliminary meeting for parents and students is scheduled for September 27. It will be held at 11:30, immediately after the end of the liturgy and procession. You can join groups through the candle shop of the temple or by contacting the curator of the school - Priest Yevgeny Kutyrev.

The curriculum includes the foundations of God’s Law, reading Holy Scripture, and studying the history of church holidays. Traditionally, pupils of the school take an active part in the life of the parish: they prepare creative numbers, learn chants and poems for Christmas and Easter.
