The parish serves a small but active local Greek community.

Following the church service, Loverdos met with members of the community to discuss local concerns.

He emphasised that his visit was more than symbolic, stating: “Our purpose is to record the problems, come up with solutions, improve our services and bring Greece closer to you.”
