Χριστός Ανέστη from our beloved parish, Panagia Koimisis Tis Theotokou!

We hope you are all having a blessed day surrounded by your loved ones. We cannot thank our parishioners enough for coming together in such great numbers to honour our Lord Jesus Christ and His triumph over death.

A heartfelt thank you as well to all our volunteers for their tireless efforts throughout the week—it truly would not have been possible without you.

And finally, welcome home to our beloved Father Andrew.

May the joy of the Resurrection fill your hearts today and always. 🤍

On International Women’s Day, what better way to honour the strength, love and grace of women than by lighting a candle to our Most Holy Theotokos — the pure and blessed Mother of God, the greatest example of humility, faith, sacrifice and love.
