Sunday school at St Sophia and her Three Daughters in Sydney hold Christmas event

·

The Sunday School of the Parish of Saint Sophia and her Three Daughters at Darlinghurst, Sydney celebrated another successful year with a Christmas event last Sunday, 10 December.

On the day, Parish Priest Father Ireneaus said it was pleasing to see the continued growth of the Sunday School four years after its revival.

It was a real family affair with the primary students presenting a short sketch and the older students speaking about St Paisios, elaborating on his connections to Australia and why St Paisios has been declared the Patron Saint of Australia.

The students were then joined by some parents in singing traditional and modern Christmas carols.

In closing, Parish President Con Zannetides expressed his gratitude for the support of the parishioners and their families throughout 2023, a year which featured the formation of the Agia Sophia Hellenic Lyceum Dancers. Rehearsals are held Friday evenings at the Parish Hall.

Fr Irenaeus and Mr Zannetides wished everyone a blessed Christmas and a joyful 2024.
