What is
Presanctified?
This service is special to Great Lent and Holy Week. We have Vespers (an evening service, thanking God for the day), pray for the Catechumens (people wanting to be baptised), and have the opportunity to receive Holy Communion. A beautiful, candlelit service, join us on Wednesdays at 6 pm!
What are the Salutations?
A beautiful devotional service to the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary together with the Small Compline - an evening prayer service. Each week, 1/4 of the Salutations are said. On the fifth week of Lent, all 4 stanzas are prayed. Ask the Mother of God to pray for you and yours on Fridays, starting at 7 pm!

The Faith of the Apostles
Founded by Jesus Christ, the early Orthodox Church continues today. Our community is one of many that profess the Nicene Creed, a foundational document of the Orthodox Church. This states what we believe as Orthodox, based in Scripture and the Tradition of the Church. A small synopsis of the Creed can be found below, along with other sites to help you in your spiritual journey.
Those looking to become Orthodox - or even have an interest in the Faith - can contact our Parish Priest for more information.
We hope to see you on Sunday and feastdays in worship, along with the other activities our Community offers!
We Are Here!
