Prayer for God's Blessing on Saint Andrew Academy

O Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, the Wisdom, Word and Power of God, true Light from the True Light - Who illumines every human being who believes in Thee, it was Thou Who didst command Thy disciples saying, "Let the children come to Me, for to such belong the Kingdom of God" and it was Thou who didst say, "Whoever receives one such child in My Name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

We thank Thee for the gift of the children of our parish, and with Thy help we embrace the sacred responsibility for their care. Send down the grace of Thy Holy Spirit upon us to make us adequate for the continuation of this great work. Steady us in our unwavering commitment, that we might not falter when faced with adversity. Enable us to run the race with endurance both in our joy and commitment.

Protect us from the many temptations that encircle us as we negotiate the Orthodox Christian education of our children. Keep far from us, O Lord, the complaining of the ancient Hebrews in the wilderness that so sorely grieved Thee and banned them from the Promised Land. Inspire us to expect constant challenges in so great a task as the proper upbringing of our youth, and to greet these challenges with faith, devotion, creativity, and calm.

As we nourish our youth grant also that the sense of community, mutual responsibility, and love might grow between all who are co-laboring, especially between our Headmaster, faculty, staff, parents, and supporters.

We sincerely thank Thee, gracious Lord, for providing us all the resources we have needed in these first years—and do now, O Lord, open the windows of heaven in Thy great generosity and provide us in our need all the resources we need to continue and expand the St. Andrew Academy.

Give to St. Andrew Academy, O Lord, Thy blessing so that in all things needful we might abound and be wholly Thine and bring honor to Thine All-Holy Name, together with that of Thine Unoriginate Father, and Thine All-Holy, Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever, unto ages of ages. Amen.

Through Your Giving, You Share in the Work. May it All be to the Glory of God!

Cultivate With Us & Give Your Support

Saint Andrew Academy was established to fill a great gap: the gap that Orthodox Christian families often face between church life and school life. As we continue to refine and share our vision for classical parish education, we are seeing students transformed by the life of the Church—not only in the home and the Nave, but also in the classroom.

The Academy’s mission is to come alongside homeschooling families, offering educational support that is both deeply rooted in the Orthodox faith and enriched by the beauty and rigor of classical education.

Your generosity allows this work to flourish!

With your support, we can expand our reach—strengthening our faculty and staff, enhancing our campus and resources, and increasing what we are able to offer our students and families. Your gifts also make it possible to fund crucial scholarships and to bring this model of education to neighboring parishes, extending the impact of Saint Andrew Academy far beyond our current community.

Together, we are building a lasting legacy—one that forms the next generation of Orthodox Christians in love, wisdom and joy!

We invite you to partner with us in this mission. 

The Academy is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible. 

One Time Donation

A one-time gift offers a meaningful opportunity to support the Academy at a moment that is both timely and impactful. Whether given in thanksgiving, in honor of a loved one, or simply out of a desire to strengthen this work, such gifts directly contribute to the growth and stability of the school.

Capital CampaignS

The Capital Campaign is a focused effort to secure the long-term stability and growth of the Academy through significant, mission-driven gifts. We are seeking a dedicated group of benefactors to help lay this foundation by contributing at one of three levels:

1.)  $25,000

2.)  $10,000

3.)  $5,000

*This particular campaign’s end date is June 2026

If you are considering a gift of $5,000 or more, or would like to discuss how your generosity can have a lasting impact, we invite you to contact John Shannon or Reader Dionysius at

  • Appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds)

  • Real estate
  • Cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin)
