The Archdiocesan District of Adelaide is celebrating the inauguration of a new parish with a mission specifically aimed at welcoming new English-speakers to the faith.
The parish is fittingly dedicated to the recently-canonised St Sophrony of Essex, a modern western saint. An historic church in Adelaide’s northeast located at 14 North Street, Hectorville will form the base of the new parish.
The new parish’s inaugural Hierarchical Divine Liturgy with Matins will be held on Sunday 15 January from 8am to 10.30am, presided over by the local Archiepiscopal Vicar Bishop Silouan of Sinope assisted by Fr Daniel Bradshaw, the current principal of St Spyridon College Unley, himself an English-speaking convert to Orthodoxy.
The service will be followed by morning tea and coffee.
