Explore one of the most profound voices of the Christian tradition this Fall 2026 through Holy Cross’s online, credit-bearing course St. Gregory of Nyssa, offered as part of our Open Learning initiative.

The course is taught by Dr. Tikhon Pino, and it invites students to encounter Gregory directly through his dogmatic writings and exegetical sermons with special attention to his contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity. St. Gregory is known as the “Father of Fathers” and one of the great Cappadocian theologians.

Holy Cross Launches New Webpage for The Catechist

Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology is pleased to announce the launch of a dedicated webpage for The Catechist: The Art of Listening and Teaching, a new Certificate Program in Orthodox Catechism presented by Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology through The Scriptorium Initiative.

The vision for The Catechist program was conceived by His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, together with the Most Reverend Members of the Holy Eparchial Synod, in response to the growing pastoral need to prepare qualified lay catechists to assist the clergy in the Church’s apostolic ministry of teaching. That vision was subsequently developed and given academic form by the faculty of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology under the leadership of its Dean, the Rev. Dr. Eugen J. Pentiuc.

The program is co-directed by Fr. Eugen J. Pentiuc and Dr. James C. Skedros.

Designed for lay leaders, parish educators, ministry volunteers, clergy spouses, recent converts, and Orthodox Christians seeking deeper theological formation, the year-long online program combines recorded lectures and assigned readings with weekly live zoom seminars. Its five instructional modules address the foundations of the Orthodox faith, moral theology and eschatology, sacramental and liturgical life, Orthodox spirituality, and catechetical pedagogy.

Participants may enroll in the Certificate Track, designed for those preparing to serve as parish catechists, or the Enrichment Track, for those seeking theological and catechetical formation without certification requirements.

The inaugural program begins October 5, 2026, with Module I: Foundations of the Orthodox Faith:

Dates Topic Instructor

Oct. 5–9 Divine Revelation Fr. Eugen J. Pentiuc

Oct. 12–16 Holy Scripture Fr. Eugen J. Pentiuc

Oct. 19–23 Holy Tradition Dr. James C. Skedros

Oct. 26–30 “I believe in one God…” Fr. Demetrios Bathrellos

Nov. 2–6 “And in one Lord Jesus Christ…” Fr. George Parsenios

Nov. 9–13 “And in the Holy Spirit…” Fr. Philip Zymaris

The newly launched webpage provides information about the curriculum, five modules, faculty, schedule, Certificate and Enrichment Tracks, and enrollment.

Saint Anthony Divine Liturgy

08/19/2026

In Fr. Michael Psaromatis’s comforting pastoral message, he shows that Orthodox Christianity is not about anxious rule keeping or legalism, but about healing, communion with Christ, and spiritual transformation.
