HOLY CROSS GREEK ORTHODOX SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

HOLY CROSS GREEK ORTHODOX SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY. The School was established in 1937 in Pomfret, Connecticut, by Archbishop Athenagoras and moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, in 1947. For more than five decades, the School has been the only seminary of the Greek Orthodox Church in the Americas. In more recent decades the School has developed into an accredited undergraduate college (Hellenic College) and Graduate School of Theology in order to better serve its students and the needs of the Church. The schools serve the Church through their active concern for the advancement of Orthodox life and thought, as well as the preservation of Greek heritage and the cultivation of Greek Letters.

Through teaching, research, publications, and ecumenical witness, the faculty provides sound theological reflection by which the faith is related to the issues that affect the people of the Church today. Moreover, the School is a source of renewal and continuing education for those engaged in the ministry. The School also provides special programs in Theology, Religious Studies, and Greek Studies for the laity in cooperation with local dioceses and parishes.
