Church School for our youth meets following communion on Sunday mornings from September through May.
At PTVM we offer three class levels: Primary for pre and emergent readers, Junior for our stronger readers and pre-teens in our Senior class for ages 12 – 18. The Primary and Junior classes focus on weekly lessons giving the students a solid grounding in the basics of our faith through Old Testament Bible stories, teaching the lives of the Saints, and sharing the Liturgical life of the Church including all major fasts and feasts. The Senior class is structured as a discussion group which covers current events and teen issues.
Register your child for the 24-25 Sunday School Year.
