Our worship of God an

d lives of prayer are grounded in the liturgical and spiritual traditions known to the saints of the British Isles and Western Europe in the 1st millennium, sensitively incorporating certain customs drawn from the wider Orthodox Church. We are blessed to be the direct spiritual descendants of those luminaries of the 20th century - St Irenaeus of Paris (Irénée Winnaert), St John of Saint-Denis (Eugraphe Kovalevsky), St John of Shanghai & San Francisco, and Maxime Kovalevsky, among others - who worked tirelessly to restore and establish an expression of the holy Orthodox Faith that celebrates the rich traditions of the Orthodox West alongside those of the universal Orthodox Church. This, along with the Divine Office and sacramental rites that accompany it, forms the bedrock of our worshipping life. We started as a small mission in a private home towards the end of 2018. Due to COVID-19, we had to cease public worship in 2020 for over a year, and travel restrictions meant that it wasn't until 2022 that we were blessed with the services of a priest. By the mercy of God we have survived a number of challenges, and our focus now is on bringing to the people of the communities we serve the rich apostolic Tradition which we have been blessed to inherit, providing them with a home in which they can enter into the life and love of the Saviour Jesus Christ. Our numbers, though growing, might still be small but our hearts are big and our faith is sincere. We invite you to explore this Orthodox life with us and to claim it as your own.

Our beloved sister in Christ (and alto in our choir), Maria, plans to run the Manchester Half Marathon on the 4th of October, both as a personal challenge to herself and as a means of raising some well-needed funds for our parish. Please do support her (and us!) if you can.

Hi! Some of you know me as Ria, some of you know me as Maria, and some of you might not know me at all. I live in Greater Manchester, and I love to run. It really gives me a sense of accomplishment and belonging, and the thrill of pushing through, even when it's painful, is really rewarding. I'm als...
