Исторические данные

Год постройки:
1985
История:
The parish was established in 1985 by the late Archimandrite Barnabas (Burton) of blessed memory at the direction of the then Archbishop Methodios. He ordained the first parish priest, Protopresbyter Alban Barter (now Emeritus) the following year. Initially, the community used the former Anglican church of Saint Barnabas, in which the first Liturgy was served by Archimandrite Barnabas on Sunday 15th December of that year. Saint Barnabas church was in rather poor condition even to the extent that, when it rained, the celebrating priest needed an umbrella and wellington boots! It proved impractical to attempt any long term tenure of that building and a search of the city was made to locate a suitable alternative. Eventually the opportunity of using one of the chapels in Overleigh Cemetery became possible and the community moved to across both city and river to the Cemetery Chapel in 1987. The first Liturgy was celebrated in our new quarters on 21st June following the blessing of the chapel with Holy Water.
