The Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Kogarah has received a major commitment from the Coalition, with $400,000 pledged for hall upgrades.

His Grace Bishop Christodoulos of Magnesia, alongside Parish President Nicholas Varvaris, recently welcomed David Coleman MP, the Federal Member for Banks and Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the Kogarah church to announce the funding.

The investment would go toward much-needed improvements to the hall, which serves the local Greek Orthodox community.

In a statement, Mr Coleman highlighted the importance of the Greek Orthodox Parish to the local area, noting its role beyond religious services.

“The Greek Orthodox Parish is an extremely important part of our community,” Mr Coleman said.

“In addition to church services, the Parish supports many members of the community with its Greek Language Schools, Youth & Seniors Groups, Cultural programs and its food programs helping people in need.”

He added that the funding would assist in completing the much-needed upgrades to the hall, further supporting the various programs vital to the community’s welfare.
