Melbourne’s oldest Greek Orthodox church to reopen after restoration

·

Melbourne’s Evangelismos Church, known as The Annunciation of Our Lady, is preparing to welcome back its faithful congregation after a transformative restoration project.

The reopening of Melbourne’s oldest Greek Orthodox church will take place against the backdrop of the Sunday of Orthodoxy feast and Greek National Day.

Bishop Kyriakos Sozopolis will preside over a Vespers service at the church on Sunday, March 24 from 7pm. This will be followed by a Divine Liturgy on Monday, March 25 from 7.30am.

A luncheon will then be held at the Aegean Greek Restaurant in Fitzroy to not only observe one of the principal feast of the Orthodox religion but also fundraise for the East Melbourne church.
