Dear parishioners and friends of the community,
Once again, we are in touch, bringing our greetings, a recap on what’s been happening and an update on our activities.
On Friday 27 February 2026, after the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, the Service of the First Section of the Salutations to the Most Holy Theotokos was held.
On Sunday 1 March, being the Sunday of Orthodoxy, we held a procession round the Church and out into the courtyard between the Church and the hall, in commemoration of the Restoration of the Holy Icons, after the Liturgy.
On Saturday 7 March we gathered, as we always do on the first Saturday of every month, for To Steki Mas / Our Place. At this event we wished our Priest-in-charge, Archimandrite Gregorios, many years on the occasion of his name day, which occurred on the following day, March 8th – the Second Sunday in Lent – that of St Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessaloniki (a moveable feast)
