Registration for ECF Classes is NOW OPEN. All school-aged children are welcome!
Registration may be done conveniently online, or you may call the Church Office at 570-489-2353. Please take this obligation seriously and put your child's religious education BEFORE all other activities. ECF not only teaches our children how to become closer to God through prayer, service, and knowledge, but it also teaches them what it is like to be an Eastern Rite Catholic, and the beautiful traditions of the Byzantine Catholic Church. To read a blog of what we did last year, please click HERE. We welcome the opportunity to teach your child about his or her faith, and the ways of our beautiful Rite.
