Tags: Protodeacon Nicholas Triantafillidis
As recently posted on the Western American Diocese website, we are saddened to hear of the sudden illness of our former Protodeacon Nicholas Triantafillidis. Father Nicholas began serving as a deacon in the All Saints of Russia Church, Croydon and later was transferred to Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Strathfield where he served for many years.
We request all clergy and lay people of our Diocese to pray for the health and recovery of Father Nicholas and for God to give strength to his family during this difficult time.
