Theophany School, which began as a dream in her heart, is now in its eleventh year thanks to Sonia's faithful leadership.

It is with deep admiration and love for our dear Sonia, and our devotion and commitment to her beautiful Theophany School, that we ask you to please join us as we carry out her wishes and take the next steps toward fulfilling her dream.
