Our Current Schedule of Services:
PLEASE NOTE: Bible Study on Wednesday 31 May will be held entirely on Zoom. For the Zoom link see: HolyAnnunciation.net/BibleStudy
For those unable to attend in person:
Due to renovations at our church, we are no longer able to livestream our services. We apologise for this change.
However, we have collated our livestreams from previous years - please see our livestreaming page for more information.
Additionally, there are a number of Orthodox churches in Australia that live stream services. Some of these include:
- Good Shepherd Orthodox Mission (Melbourne - Antiochian Archdiocese). English-language. Sunday, 10am (AEDT), on YouTube (link).
- St Nicholas Cathedral (ROCOR, Brisbane). Slavonic-language services. Saturday, 5pm, & Sunday, 8:30am (AEST), on YouTube (link).
- Holy Protection Orthodox Cathedral (ROCOR, Melbourne). Slavonic & English languages. Saturday, 6pm, & Sunday, 9am (AEDT), on YouTube (link).
- Many, many other Orthodox churches around the country on https://orthodoxonline.net.au/, and overseas on http://liveliturgy.com/
Another option for those unable to attend in person is to pray the Readers Services in their home. The Typika service is prayed if one is not able to attend a Divine Liturgy.
- Fr John Whiteford has put together a number of Readers Services, which is recommended.
- The Vespers service (which may be prayed on Saturday evening, omitting the variables if they are not available): http://www.saintjonah.org/services/vespers.htm
- The Typika service (which, in the absence of a Priest, is prayed instead of a Liturgy): http://www.saintjonah.org/services/typica.htm
- The Variables for the Typika service, for Sundays and Great Feasts: http://www.saintjonah.org/typ/
- Earlier this year Fr Andrew put together a crash-course video on putting together the Typika service. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLg7Jrdu7mc
