Sunday Schools

The Holy See of Cilicia operates Sunday schools worldwide within its local communities. Through the hard work of its volunteers, they aim to provide Christian education to children.  Due to the absence of Armenian schools in some diaspora communities, the role of Sunday schools have become increasingly critical to support the shaping of Armenian adolescents in religion, language, and  culture.

Volunteers in coordination with their local parishes and prelacies execute a year-long curriculum consisting of Church history, biblical stories, stories about saints, liturgical and spiritual traditions of the church, as well as moral and ethical education. Christianity remains at the heart of the curriculum and the activities of Sunday schools.

The headquarters of Sunday schools is located at the Catholicosate in Antelias, Lebanon. It provides guidance, assistance and material to Sunday schools functioning under the immediate supervision of local Prelate’s and religious councils.
