Our parish is part of the world wide Orthodox Church, tracing its foundation to the day of Pentecost and preserving the ancient Faith and traditions of the first Christians and the early Church.
Embracing the Orthodox legacy of these islands and blessed by the intercessions of the host of local saints, our community consists of Orthodox faithful from the locality and those who faithfully travel from further afield – some British and some from traditionally Orthodox countries – united in proclaiming the Gospel and serving the Lord, with a warm and welcoming openness to all who wish to join us in serving God within the Holy Orthodox, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Our services are celebrated in English, Welsh and Church Slavonic (the liturgical language of the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches).
The Hours followed by Divine Liturgy start at 09:00, with parishioners sharing a bring-and-share lunch after the service. We hope visitors will stay, get to meet us and share in our post-Liturgy fellowship.
