Two New Missions

25/05/2011



Two new missions have recently been launched within our diocese, both dedicated in honour of St Nicholas, the Wonderworker of Myra.

The first is an outreach effort of the cathedral parish of the Dormition of the Mother of God, and is based in Cardiff.  The Liturgy is served on one Saturday each month in the Greek Orthodox church of St Nicholas.

The second is a satellite mission of the Wallasey parish of St Elisabeth the New-Martyr, based in Liverpool.  The Liturgy will be served occasionally, as announced, at the Anglican parish church of Our Lady and St Nicholas.

Photographs from the first Liturgies of both missions may be viewed here and here, and contact details may be found in the directory.

Please pray for the clergy and people of these missions as they seek to reach out to isolated Orthodox people and to bring new people into the Ark of Salvation.

The truth of things hath revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, and icon of meekness, and a teacher of temperance; therefore, thou hast achieved the heights by humility, riches by poverty.  O Father and Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
