Pre-School through Grade 6

For preschool children through 6th grade, we have two ministries:

  • Panagia’s Little Lambs (3months - 4 years)
    Families with children ages 3 months-4 years old are invited to our parish’s newest ministry! 10-11 a.m. on Mondays  at St Demetrios to play, sing, read, craft and play games! We will meet in the JOY/craft room. To register, contact Toni-Marie Basourakis or the Church Office.

  • JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth)
    JOY is a ministry to Kindergarten through 6th grade children of the St. Demetrios Rocky River Greek Orthodox Church.
    The mission and goal of the JOY ministry is to lead our young people into experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation.
    JOY takes part in many fun events like Fall Fun Night, Gingerbread House Making, Vacation Bible School, and more! By laying a foundation of faith at this age, the young people will have something that will guide and strengthen them as they progress into junior high and high school. Those interested should contact Marina Papafil
