On September 5, 2008 with the Blessing of his Eminence Metropolitan Metodij of the American-Canadian Macedonian Orthodox Diocese, the religious and cultural program began for the 2008-09 school year.  The first class began with a brief quiz related to the Holy Spirit and thankful prayers to our Lord for a successful new school year.  Afterwards we discussed the symbol of the cross and how one is supposed to properly cross ones self.  This year we have about 30 new students who want to learn our native Macedonian Language, Folklore, and Orthodox Faith.
