The architectural plans for a new Greek Orthodox parish to be established in Darwin, the Northern Territory have been unveiled.
A delegation of officials from the new parish revealed the plans during a meeting with Archbishop Makarios of Australia in Sydney on Wednesday, March 15.
The delegation included the first priest of the new parish, Father Christos Tsoraklidis, and members of the Parish Council.
The plans show the new parish will be named in honour of Saint Savvas the New of Kalymnos.
With development of the new parish still in its early stages, Mackillop Catholic College in Johnston will serve as a base for Divine Services until a permanent location is found for the new parish in the Palmerston area.
Father Christos will serve the first Divine Liturgy on Saturday, March 25 this year at the College.
The new parish is an initiative of Archbishop Makarios and its establishment will be monitored by Bishop Silouan of Sinope, Archiepiscopal Vicar of Adelaide.
