Join us for in person or online adult education classes every Monday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm led by Cathedral Dean Fr. Thomas Zain. Email Fr. Thomas for the zoom link. We will have vespers or some other service at 6:00pm each Classes will begin on September 8. New inquirers, catechumens and recent converts as well as life-long Orthodox are welcome and encouraged to attend. The first hour we are discussing the book "Thinking Orthodox" and the second hour will be instruction with two different groups, one for new inquirers and those seeking basic instruction and one for those who have been attending the classes in the past. Unless otherwise noted, we generally meet every Monday from September until Great Lent begins.
