Today, our Church community was delighted to join His Grace Bishop Christodoulos in congratulating our wonderful Sunday School children on their outstanding achievement in winning the Sunday School Picnic Sporting Competition, together with an alliance of several other parishes. We are incredibly proud of the way our children represented our parish both on and off the field.
As a special gesture of appreciation, His Grace Bishop Christodoulos presented each of the students with a Kit Kat on behalf of our parishioners, recognising their hard work, dedication, and wonderful achievement.
A heartfelt congratulations to all of our Sunday School children, and sincere thanks to their dedicated teachers whose guidance and support made this achievement possible.
Well done to everyone involved — may God continue to bless and inspire our young people!

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, weekly volunteers, youth, families, and wider community. Your support allows us to continue serving and growing this ministry week after week.

What began as a small initiative has, by the grace of God and through your generosity, grown into something far greater than we could have imagined. We are humbled by the love and encouragement shown to us.

May St. Elesa continue to intercede for us all as we strive to serve Christ and one another.

Another Beautiful English Divine Liturgy!

Last night, our parish was blessed to celebrate another beautiful English Divine Liturgy in a church filled with faithful worshippers.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our Head Chanter, Dimitrios Koubaroulis, along with Alexandra, Chrysovalantis, and our dedicated parish choir, whose beautiful and reverent chanting elevated our hearts and minds toward heaven.
Once again, the participation of our faithful in receiving the Holy Eucharist was exemplary and deeply inspiring, reflecting a strong commitment to the sacramental life of the Church and a genuine desire to draw closer to Christ.
We give glory and thanks to God for granting us yet another wonderful opportunity to gather as one family in faith and worship His holy name in our church. May He continue to bless our parish and all who seek Him with sincere hearts.

Glory to God for all things!

This Tuesday night, June 9, we have our monthly Divine Liturgy in English.

The Divine Liturgy is where Christ is fully present, and you can come to know Him personally.

We encourage you to take this opportunity (with an all-English service for you to understand) to come closer to Him by deepening your relationship with Him in a prayerful setting.

As St John of Kronstadt says: “There is nothing on earth higher, greater or more holy than the Divine Liturgy; nothing more solemn, nothing more life-giving”.

We hope to see you all tonight from 7:00-8:30PM at our Parish in Kogarah.
