Melbourne parish honours Greek migrants with annual memorial service

·

The Parish of Panagia Kamariani in Red Hill, Melbourne, held its annual memorial service on Sunday, November 2, to honour Greek migrants who journeyed to Australia in search of a better life.

The service was presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan Ezekiel of Dervis, assisted by Archimandrite Irenaeus Koikas, the parish priest.

Following the liturgy, a Trisagion was performed at the parish monument dedicated to immigrants, with wreaths laid in remembrance of those who have passed.

The event drew a large gathering of parishioners and community leaders, including Federal MP for Mornington Chris Crewther.

The ceremony concluded with the Greek and Australian national anthems and a minute of silence, paying tribute to the generations of migrants who built new lives on Australian soil.
