Last night, we hosted our 2026 St. Elesa Fundraiser at the Dolton House in Sylvania Waters.

In the presence of His Grace Bishop Christodoulos, our Parish Priests Fr. Athanasios and Fr. Socrates, and clergy from across our community, as well as His Grace Bishop Chrysostomos of Bukoba and Western Tanzania, we were honoured to gather in support of this special initiative. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Archbishop Makarios for his presence and blessing.

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, weekly volunteers, youth, families, and wider community. Your support allows us to continue serving and growing this ministry week after week.

What began as a small initiative has, by the grace of God and through your generosity, grown into something far greater than we could have imagined. We are humbled by the love and encouragement shown to us.

May St. Elesa continue to intercede for us all as we strive to serve Christ and one another. Thank you.
