\"\"<\/a>From 11-14 July, we received Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen), who was in Australia lecturing at the Residential School for the Sts Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Institute.\u00a0 In 2019, we celebrate 10 years since our transfer into the ROCOR Diocese of Australia and New Zealand, which we remember was done at the hand of Metropolitan Jonah while he was primate of the Orthodox Church in America.\u00a0 Therefore, it was with great joy that we were able to celebrate this with his presence.<\/div>\n

For the feast of Sts Peter and Paul, we received His Eminence before Vigil, and served the Festal Vigil, with a sermon delivered at the end on the Holy Apostles.\u00a0 The next day, His Eminence served the Divine Liturgy and gave another sermon.\u00a0 An impromptu coffee hour was had afterwards, where His Eminence was able to speak informally with members of the community.<\/p>\n
