About Us

We are a Eucharistic Community within the Diocese of Sourozh, Moscow Patriarchate. The Diocese in this country was founded by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of blessed memory. The diocese is headed by Archbishop Elisey of Sourozh.

We are a multi-ethnic community and Orthodox Christians from various nationalities worship with us. The services are in Church Slavonic (with some English) and may be attended by anyone who is interested, although only Orthodox Christians may receive Holy Communion at the Divine Liturgy. Services are held in:

St Mary the Virgin Church
Bearwood Rd

Please note that there will be two services in succession: on 17th June and 24th June (both start at 10am).

17th June is Sunday of All Saints of Russia.

24th June is Sunday of All Saints of Britain and Ireland - Patronal Feast of our Parish.

Confessions are before the Liturgy. Please come for confessions early.
