Tags: Protodeacon Nicholas Triantafillidis
As recently posted on the Western American Diocese website, we are saddened to hear of the sudden illness of our former Protodeacon Nicholas Triantafillidis. Father Nicholas began serving as a deacon in the All Saints of Russia Church, Croydon and later was transferred to Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Strathfield where he served for many years.
We request all clergy and lay people of our Diocese to pray for the health and recovery of Father Nicholas and for God to give strength to his family during this difficult time.

Most Reverend fellow archpastors, most honorable fathers–concelebrants, God-loving monastics, dear brothers and sisters!
Motivated by the best thoughts and deepest feelings of brotherly love and spiritual joy, I greet the faithful children of the Russian Church Abroad, scattered worldwide as God’s wheat, with the celebration of the Nativity of Christ. I send my sincere wish from remote Australia that the coming new 2014th year bring rich spiritual fruit for each of us individually and for the entire Church!
In their writings the Holy Fathers of the Church portray the Feast of the Nativity as great, universal and joyful; the beginning and basis for all other Feasts.
