About Serbian School

The Serbian Sunday School in London, Ontario aims to offer various educational programs for children and teens to preserve the Serbian language, religion and culture. After several years of discontinuity, the school has been renewed in 2023, and began once again its educational work.

The school bears the name of Saint-Sava, the saint who preached people’s goodwill, wisdom and modesty, leaving us with the pledge and commitment to nurture faith and education. That is why learning and promoting the Serbian language as a native language (mother tongue), developing and raising awareness of Serbian national, cultural and religious identity, as well as the development of the Serbian community, are the primary goals for our school.

Through the grace of God and the dedication of kind-hearted individuals, we have successfully organized the commencement of our Serbian school. Today marks the beginning of this endeavor, ushering in a delightful new chapter for the children in our parish. May God bless us with peace, harmony, and love as we strive to achieve our goals. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Our Serbian Sunday School takes place every Sunday following the Divine Liturgy at 12 noon.

Religious Education

The religious education program occurs following the Divine Liturgy, with children grouped according to their ages.

The primary goal of our Sunday school is to acquaint children with the fundamental tenets of the Orthodox faith and the Christian way of life. Lessons entail discussions on Christian virtues, exploration of Bible narratives and the lives of saints, as well as instruction in prayers and customs associated with Christian holidays.

While Sunday school plays a vital role, Christian upbringing predominantly rests with parents. They can enhance its effectiveness by discussing Sunday school teachings with their children, regularly attending church services and partaking in Holy Communion, and leading by example in their daily lives.
