ABOUT US

The Clergy

HOLY APOSTLES

Based in Melbourne, the Holy Apostles: Metropolis of Australia and New Zealand exists via the pleasure of the Holy Spirit within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Patricachate of Kyiv and Archdiocese of Western Europe and Canada in order to re-establish Holy Orthodoxy amongst the people whose heritage stems from Elder Rome.

Our objective is to restore dignity and canonicity to a church that has forgotten the mindset of the apostles: to preach, teach and welcome people from all walks of life - becoming a true church for Australia and New Zealand within the Roman Orthodox tradition.
