Timeless Wisdom: Orthodox Spirituality Today

A Lenten Retreat—16^th to 18^th March 2018, Belgrave Heights

Come join the English-speaking Orthodox parishes of Melbourne for a weekend of spiritual feasting. People will be flocking to experience the “Timeless Wisdom” of ancient Orthodox Spirituality in a thoroughly modern setting.

But for those who cannot make it, remember that all weekend services will be served at The Good Shepherd Orthodox Church.

Registrations are now open for the upcoming Lenten retreat: a time to get away, pray and learn about the faith with other Orthodox Christians from English speaking parishes. All welcome!

The Liturgy will still be served at The Good Shepherd on Sunday 18th March, along with all scheduled weekend services.
