The "Koonenkurish Sathyam" in 1653 was the turning point. It emphasized the need for Catechism and Scriptural studies. During the 1765-1808 period, the study of sacraments and prayers were also included in the lessons. This was the beginning of the Sunday school in the Church. The Sunday School Samajam started functioning in 1931 with the appointment of Puthencavu Geevarghese Mar Philexinos as its President and Fr.K.David as the General Secretary. On 15 October 1964 it got its present form as "Orthodox Sunday School Association of the East" (OSSAE). Sunday School units are operating in the Orthodox Churches in and outside Kerala and also overseas. “Let the children come unto me; the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” - Matthew 19:14. .
