22.01.2022 These difficult days of pandemic closure we have more time to look joyfully around, at the revival of nature and its beauty. But if we read these following quotes we will realise once more that: Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Note it. Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead He set before your eyes the things He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that? What, heaven and earth shout to you, ‘God made me!' (St. John Chrysostom) My book is the nature of created things, and as often as I have mind to read the words of God, they are at my hand. (St. Anthony the Great)

18.01.2022 Dear brothers and sisters, we gratefully announce that the churches will open again. We are happy to share with you that our large church can accommodate 135 people while abiding by the government's physical distance measures. Although booking is no longer required, we ask that all those interested in coming to church wear their masks inside the church and keep the 1.5 metres distance from each other. The first 135 people will be able to attend the service. All the seats available have been marked. For the little ones, we have more good news; a Christmas tree has been decorated and is waiting for them in the room dedicated to children upstairs.

17.01.2022 ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS MESSAGE FOR THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF OXI DAY. The heroic NO of October 28, 1940, is flanked with pride, gratitude and responsibility. These... three words which echo through our ears only to travel to our thoughts, overwhelm our very existence today. We stand with pride because 80 years ago the small and poor nation of Greece stood up to the mighty war weapons of fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, only to become an example of heroism and self-sacrifice for all the peoples of the world. Reflecting on this spirit of self-sacrifice and strength with which our ancestors fought for our Faith and Homeland, we bow with respect to their memory and express our deepest gratitude. Without their struggle, none of what we enjoy today would be possible. At the same time, we give praise and show gratitude to the Blessed Theotokos for the protection and comfort she gave to the struggle of the Greeks during the epic of 1940. Today's anniversary, which coincides with the feast of Her Holy Protection is another reminder to all that in the critical moments of history, the Blessed Theotokos with Her grace fortified and sheltered the Nation of Greece. As we can appreciate, we have a sacred obligation and responsibility to pass this legacy which was given to us by our ancestors, to the generations that will follow. It is not just dates, names, and "bare" information that our young people need to memorise. Above all, it is the ideals and values of our Nation and Faith, which prompted our ancestors with solidarity to resist heroically and willingly, sacrificing even their lives. It would be an omission if we forgot that the Epic of 1940 and World War II as a whole, were a historical circumstance in which the bonds of friendship between Greeks and Australians were further strengthened after they fought together on the same side of history. With these thoughts, on behalf of their Graces our Assistant Bishops, together with the holy clergy, the monastics and honest people of our Holy Archdiocese, I wish all Greek women and men everywhere around the world, many blessed years sheltered by the Holy Spirit!

(St. John of Kronstadt)" Happy name day to all those who celebrate today, Stavroula and Stavros!
