For each age group, a curriculum has been carefully designed to cover psychologically relevant themes discussing Scripture, Dogma, Spirituality, Church Rituals and Morals. Additionally, the curriculum has been designed to discuss topics corresponding to the time of fasts/feasts in the Calendar which shift every year.
