WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
“The Super Saints program was wonderful and an excellent VBS program to teach our children about five amazing Orthodox Saints. It was very well organized and we loved how every aspect of the program, from the songs to the games, tied back to the Saint that was taught that day. The detailed information that was provided for each Saint made executing this program so easy. The children had a great time and, once the program was over, many of our children wanted camp to be extended for another week. Our parents and volunteers loved seeing the excitement in the children’s faces as they were participating in this program. We know this beautiful week connected them closer to Christ and His Saints.”
“Super Saints was a super success for our parish! This curriculum truly has all of the elements you could want in a VBS program, and we had a total blast watching our children thrive learning about their faith and growing in love for each other. We believe the seeds that were planted last summer will reap great rewards for years to come. We got positive feedback across the board from kids, parents, and volunteers! Can’t say enough good things about this program!”

From our Executive Director:
A hundred years ago, as a new and enthusiastic youth director, I learned quickly how many concerns and challenges we leaders face in maintaining a vibrant children's ministry, especially during the summer months. Many of us struggle to keep young parishioners engaged in the life of the Church, wanting desperately to prevent them from missing out on the transformative power of the Faith. If we wanted to host a Vacation Bible School, we had to buy a curriculum and try to baptize it Orthodox. Or we had to write it ourselves!
That’s exactly why we created Super Saints: Heroes of Our Faith, a comprehensive curriculum designed to reignite the spark of curiosity and passion for the saints within our youth. Through engaging activities, captivating stories, and interactive lessons, Super Saints offers a unique opportunity to connect our children with the heroes of our faith in a meaningful and impactful way. If you have reservations about taking on a new program, trust me when I say that Super Saints is a catalyst for transformation.
Imagine the joy of seeing your young parishioners light up with excitement as they embark on a journey to discover the saints who have walked before them. Imagine the impact of instilling in them a deep sense of reverence and awe for their spiritual heritage. This is the promise of Super Saints: Heroes of Our Faith.
I urge you to take the leap of faith and invest in the future of your children's ministry today. With our expert guidance and support, you'll find that implementing this program is simple and requires minimal time and effort.
In Christ,
Michelle Moujaes
Executive Director of Faithtree Resources
