On Saturday, December 7th, we had the privilege of attending, participating in, and serving at St. Paul’s annual Saint Barbara’s Day celebration as part of the youth committee team. This event was a beautiful collaboration between the Youth Committee, the Family Ministry, the Sunday School team, and the Arabic school, highlighting the unity within our Church community.

From Friday, November 29, to Sunday, December 1, 2024, ACOY Victoria held its annual Spiritual Weekend Retreat, bringing together over 100 attendees for a weekend of spiritual nourishment and fellowship. This year’s theme was “Let Us Attend! The Holy Things for the Holy People,” centred around the Divine Liturgy, exploring its meaning, history, and necessity in our pursuit of salvation.

This past month, I had the opportunity to attend our church’s family camp at the monastery in Goulburn.

“With what beauty of hymns shall we praise blessed Peter and Paul, the Apostles?”
