> It's so beautiful at St John's when parents or a responsible adult lift babes in arms to receive Communion at St. John's. That's the Byzantine tradition; but not every jurisdiction follows it; but more are doing so now that  before. It  helps that the Eparchy has an excellent catechetical program which forms the adults to instruct and pass on their faith.
Much of the programming is designed to be implemented in the home by families, although we do have traditional ccd classes (based on Eastern tradition)
