Первый в Австралии храм русской православной общины отметил в воскресенье, 28 мая, свое 100-летие торжественным богослужением и концертом.
В честь праздника в Николаевский русский православный собор в Брисбене прибыли священнослужители из разных австралийских православных приходов и гости из зарубежных стран. «Сегодня очень значимый для нашего прихода день, потому что наш храм, самый древний православный собор Австралии, празднует свое 100-летие со времени основания. Этот собор, открыв однажды свои двери для православных, не закрывал их никогда, принимая прихожан, прибывших из послереволюционной России, а затем тех, кто пережил ужасы Великой Отечественной войны и по каким-то причинам оказался здесь. За годы его существования тысячи православных христиан здесь молились и получали благословение, здесь служили замечательные священники, и сегодня юбилей этого храма – это наш общий праздник», – сказал один из прихожан церкви.

Мы встретились и смогли задать вопросы владыке Гавриилу в монастыре в посёлке Кентлин во время его визита в Австралию.
– Ваше Высокопреосвященство, в этом году Вам исполнилось 50 лет. Среди множества писем, которые Вы получили к юбилею, было поздравление от Святейшего Патриарха Московского и Всея Руси Кирилла. Много лет вы трудились в Синоде РПЦЗ в Нью-Йорке. Но ведь родились и выросли Вы здесь, в Австралии. Как часто Вам удаётся побывать на родине?
– Я стараюсь хотя бы раз в году побывать здесь. У меня в Австралии остались братья и сестры, немало племянников, двоюродных братьев и сестёр и других родственников. Вся моя семья здесь, поэтому мне особенно приятно бывать в Австралии. (more…)
