WELCOME

We are in communion with all the other Orthodox Churches worldwide, Antioch being one of the ancient sees of the Christian Church, (Acts 11:26). In line with Orthodox practice, our services are in the language of the people; in our case, English. Everyone is welcome to come along to our Divine Liturgy and Typika services. We hold them either on a Saturday or Sunday depending if a Priest is present. Please check out 'Services' page for up-to-date times and dates of our services. Thank you.
OUR PATRON SAINT
The Patron Saint of this Parish is Saint Ignatius of Antioch (Feast day 20th December). "Like a living monument and an animate image, thy yearly feast is come, O God-bearing Ignatius, proclaiming thy mystic teachings and thy heroic exploits, thy resistance for the Faith even unto blood, and those blessed and celebrated words of thine, which said: I am the wheat of God, and in the teeth of beasts shall I be ground up. Wherefore, as an imitator of the Passion of Christ, intercede that our souls be saved." +Orthros of the Feast, Tone 1.
