Greek Orthodox Community of NSW

Greek Orthodox Community of NSW The GOC NSW is an non profit organisation that serves the spiritual, cultural, social, educational and welfare needs of the Greek Australian Community.

The Greek Orthodox Community is one of Australia's oldest organisations representing Greek migrants. Apart from operating churches, afternoon Greek schools, kindergartens and a hostel for the aged, it provides a wide range of migrant related social services. In more recent times, it has taken on board the need to meet its members' cultural and artistic aspirations. With this change came a shift in

emphasis and content to be promoting and supporting cultural initiatives not only of Greek/Australians of NSW but of all Australia.

Sunday of Pentecost Celebrated at Agia Sophia Cathedral, Paddington

On Sunday, 31 May 2026, the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW participated in the celebrations of Pentecost at the historic Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Agia Sophia (Wisdom of God) in Paddington.

The service was attended by the President of the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW, Mr Con Apoifis, together with members of the Board of Directors and the Church Sub-Committee.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

Distinguished guests also included Mr George Mastrocostas, Honorary Consul of the Hellenic Republic in Brisbane, together with clergy from neighbouring Greek Orthodox parishes in Sydney.

Pentecost is one of the most significant observances in the Orthodox Christian calendar and holds deep cultural and historical significance for Orthodox communities around the world. The gathering brought together clergy, community leaders and parishioners in a spirit of unity and community engagement.

President Con Apoifis expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to attend the event, reaffirming the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW’s ongoing commitment to supporting the cultural, educational and community life of Greek Australians.

The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW extends its best wishes to all those celebrating Pentecost and remains committed to preserving and promoting the rich heritage, traditions and values of the Greek Australian community for future generations.

ΔΕΛΤΙΟ ΤΥΠΟΥ – 01 ΙΟΥΝΙΟΥ 2026
Εορτασμός της Κυριακής της Πεντηκοστής στον Καθεδρικό Ιερό Ναό της του Θεού Σοφίας στο Paddington

Την Κυριακή 31 Μαΐου 2026, η Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Κοινότητα Νέας Νοτίου Ουαλίας συμμετείχε στους εορτασμούς της Κυριακής της Πεντηκοστής στον ιστορικό Ελληνικό Ορθόδοξο Καθεδρικό Ναό της του Θεού Σοφίας στο Paddington.

Στην εκδήλωση παρέστη ο Πρόεδρος της Ελληνικής Ορθόδοξης Κοινότητας ΝΝΟ, κ. Κώστας Αποΐφης, συνοδευόμενος από μέλη του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου και της Εκκλησιαστικής Επιτροπής της Κοινότητας.

Την εκδήλωση τίμησε με την παρουσία του η Αυτού Σεβασμιότητα ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αυστραλίας κ.κ. Μακάριος, Προκαθήμενος της Ιεράς Αρχιεπισκοπής Αυστραλίας.

Μεταξύ των επισήμων παρευρέθηκαν επίσης ο Επίτιμος Πρόξενος της Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας στο Μπρίσμπεϊν, κ. Γεώργιος Μαστροκώστας, καθώς και οι κληρικοί από τις γειτονικές ενορίες του Σίδνεϋ.

Η Πεντηκοστή αποτελεί μία από τις σημαντικότερες εορτές του ορθόδοξου εορτολογίου και κατέχει ιδιαίτερη πολιτιστική και ιστορική σημασία για τις ελληνικές και ορθόδοξες κοινότητες σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Η εκδήλωση έφερε κοντά εκπροσώπους της Εκκλησίας, της Κοινότητας και πλήθος ομογενών, προάγοντας το πνεύμα της ενότητας και της συλλογικότητας.

Ο Πρόεδρος της Κοινότητας, κ. Κώστας Αποΐφης, εξέφρασε την εκτίμησή του για την ευκαιρία να παρευρεθεί στην εκδήλωση, επαναβεβαιώνοντας τη διαρκή δέσμευση της Ελληνικής Ορθόδοξης Κοινότητας ΝΝΟ να στηρίζει την πολιτιστική, εκπαιδευτική και κοινωνική ζωή του Ελληνισμού της Αυστραλίας.

Η Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Κοινότητα ΝΝΟ απευθύνει τις θερμότερες ευχές της προς όλους όσοι εορτάζουν την Πεντηκοστή και παραμένει προσηλωμένη στη διατήρηση και προώθηση της πλούσιας πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς, των παραδόσεων και των αξιών του Ελληνισμού για τις επόμενες γενιές.
