8 Jun 10: Liturgical Music Seminar at Holy Protection Parish, Cabramatta
At one point it seemed there would not be a 2010 Russian Orthodox Choir Singer’s and Conductor’s Conference, due to its cancellation (in Brisbane). Fortunately, the wonderfully committed and stoic Andrei Laptev, a considerable musician and veritable asset to the Russian Orthodox Community in Australia, decided to not accept this travesty and asked the community if there was sufficient interest to maintain the venue in another location (Cabramatta, NSW). We all answered ‘yes’, and Andrei obtained a Blessing to proceed with a plan which would ultimately result in a truly fantastic event. (more…)

17 Mar 10: Пастырское Совещание южного округа Австралийской епархии
В среду 3 марта в Данденонге состоялось пастырское совещание духовенства южного округа Австралийской епархии.
Перед совещанием прошло общее говение духовенства и совместная служба Преждеосвященных даров.
Божественная Литургия Преждеосвященных Даров одна из самых прекрасных и умилительных служб Церкви. Верующие стремятся хотя бы один раз за пост присутствовать на ней и причаститься Святых Христовых Таин. И особенно она торжественно выглядит при соборном служении.
Верующему человеку можно легко понять чувства молящегося, который впервые попал на эту службу. В этот день, по словам такого человека, его переполняли чувства присутствия при очень важном моменте в его жизни. Соборное песнопение священников еще больше усиливало благолепное состояние и души и разума. (more…)
