Our Beloved Congregation,

Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

We thank our Lord for allowing us to work in unity with the NSW Coptic Orthodox Board of Education (Board) to progress the plans and visions of both the Church and the College all for the Glory of our Lord's name.

We have exciting news that we have agreed a transition plan with the Board for the return of the heritage building to the Church.  Work has commenced on stage 1 of the transition which will relocate the three School classrooms currently on the ground floor of the heritage building to the ground floor of the school building.  

We ask you to pray for this transition and for the success of this project.

"The harvest is truly great, but the labourers are few," Luke 10:2

Our beloved Congregation,

We pray that you all have a blessed season of service during the Apostles' Fast.

We would like to invite you all to attend the priesthood ordination of the servant & deacon Charbel Iskander, which will take place on Sunday the 11th June, from 8am in the Cathedral. 

We will have 2 liturgies only on Sunday, an early liturgy from 5:30 - 8 am & the second will be from 8 -11 am. Both liturgies will be conducted in the Cathedral. We will have Sunday school service as usual.

Please pray for this ordination and for our beloved church. 

May God bless you all 🙏
