Membership
The Mission was legally incorporated in Victoria, Australia on the 23rd of January 2004.
The daily administrative affairs are managed by a Mission Board, consisting of only 3 lay members.
– Administrator
– Secretary
– Treasurer
The monastic Superior of the Mission, together with the serving clergy, are involved in the spiritual guidance of the faithful, under the protection and watchfulness of the ruling Bishop, who protects the integrity of the Mission through its adherence to the apostolic traditions of the Ecumenical Councils and its canons.
Any unforeseen matters that may arise are to be resolved according to the Church Canons [and general rules of the Great Typikon]. [Notes taken from the Synod of bishops of ROCOR, Nov. 12, 1959]
Everyone is welcome to attend services and to participate in the work of the Mission.
All Orthodox Christians are able to participate in the Sacraments.

Without me, you are not able to do anything. [John 15:5]
