On Monday, 6 January 2020 and Tuesday, 7 January 2020, His Grace George, Bishop of Canberra celebrated the great feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral, Strathfield, NSW. Co-served with his Grace were the Cathedral clergy, Archpriest George Lapardin, dean of the Cathedral, priest Michael Storozhev and protodeacon Alexander Kotlaroff.
Following the Divine Liturgy, a festal lunch was held in the church hall where the faithful joyously congratulated each other with the feast.
On Wednesday, December 25, 2019, exactly one year since the repose of Fr Seraphim Slade, the first Australian Aboriginal Orthodox priest, the house and chapel where his widow, Matushka Elena, lived in Gunning, NSW, Australia, burned down.
Divine Liturgy was celebrated on that day, after which the worshipers went to the cemetery to perform a memorial service over the late priest’s grave.
On the way back they noticed smoke over the house and discovered that it was enveloped in flames.
We appeal to our readers to prayerfully and materially support Matushka Elena and her family:
The Jordanville Annual Fund is your opportunity to support all that we strive to accomplish daily. It is mainly the generosity of donors like you that makes it possible for us…
to keep encouraging the well-known spiritual commitment of our monastic community, including its beautiful church services and singing every day;
to continue building and strengthening Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary, an officially accredited institution with a top-notch faculty and diverse body of dedicated students;
to maintain our picturesque and much-beloved sacred property, nearly 1,000 acres in Upstate New York with many buildings and housing for the monastery and seminary;
to further expand Jordanville’s renowned missionary outreach with its countless publications since the founding of our press close to a century ago.
