St Eleftherios Church celebrates feast day in Brunswick

·

The Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Church of St Eleftherios in Brunswick marked its annual feast day with a series of reverent and well-attended services held on Sunday, December 14, and Monday, December 15.

Church services commenced on Sunday evening with Vespers, presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan Myron of New Zealand, followed by the Divine Liturgy on Monday morning, which His Eminence also blessed.

In attendance also was His Grace Bishop Evmenios of Chora, along with several priests from churches across both dioceses. Representatives of the GCM, Simela Stamatopoulos (GCM board) and Michael Profyris (church coordinator), were present for the celebrations.

The feast of St Eleftherios, a Saint closely associated with faith, perseverance and spiritual freedom, holds deep significance for the parish and the wider Greek Orthodox community.

Each year, the feast brings families together, elders and younger generations, reaffirming the Church’s enduring role as a spiritual and cultural cornerstone for Hellenism in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

The GCM congratulate and commends all faithful who attended and contributed to the joy-filled observance of this important feast day.
