We are at the fore-front of the mission field, and the number of people who come and seek answers and/or assistance grows larger every day. The Board together with all the missioners has accepted the offer made by Metropolitan Hilarion and the Dean, Fr Michael, for the Mission to have “rotating clergy celebrating the priestly services”. We believe that this will not place the entire burden of mission on one or two priests alone.

The cycle of services will continue as always. The doors will continue to be open as always. The vision of the Mission continues to be stronger and wider.
