Very sadly, the Divine Liturgy in English at 9-30 am on Sundays at the Holy Family Cathedral, Lower Church, have had to be put on hold. Until the practicalities we cannot use the Lower Church space. Hopefully this will be resolved very soon. Please keep checking in here for details.

Owing to public health guidance, masks should still be worn indoors and distance maintained. Sanitisers are available. Holy Communion is distributed in both kinds from the mixed and common chalice, by means of a separate Communion spoon for each individual communicant.

To purchase The Divine Liturgy: an Anthology for Worship (in English), order from the Sheptytsky Institute here, or the St Basil's Bookstore here.

To purchase the Divine Praises, the Divine Office of the Byzantine-Slav rite (in English), order from the Eparchy of Parma here.

The new catechism in English, Christ our Pascha, is available from the Eparchy of the Holy Family and the Society. Please email johnchrysostom@btinternet.com for details.

The Three Holy Hierarchs at the Patriarchal Church, Phanar (Fener), Istanbul

During his All Holiness' address to Pope Francis, he referred to Saints Gregory Nazianzen, John Chrysostom and Basil the Great, Fathers to both our churches because they are truly one. Here is a photograph of the shrines of the Three Holy Hierarchs, St Basil the Great, St Gregory Nazianzen and St John Chrysostom (the last two restored to the Orthodox Church by St John Paul ten years ago), taken in the Patriarchal Church of St George by our Vice Chairman on his own recent visit to the Ecumenical Patriarch to inform him of the joint efforts of the Society and of the Fellowship of St Alban & St Sergius to foster dialogue and close collaboration between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches in England.

He told Fr Mark, "I walk with you. And I follow you with prayer and encouragement."
