The entry of St Albans to the fold of the Archdiocese of Australia is a “one way street” according to Fr Irinaios Koikas.
Saint Paraskevi Greek Orthodox Church is currently in talks with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia to return under its aegis.
“We pray this year will be the end of the continuous division our church has found itself in for the last 33 years we pray for peace and refuge in the bosom of the Mother Church as this is what our church and parishioners deserve,” was the message posted on St Paraskevi’s Facebook page.
Father Irinaios confirmed that efforts are being made in this regard and said the church “collaborated with the Holy Archdiocese in the drive for underprivileged Greek Australians” in an initiative taken by the community church.
