Bishop Raphael's Visit on 25 January

Published on 15 January 2026 at 18:22

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are delighted to share the news that Bishop Raphael will be visiting our church on Sunday, 25th January 2026.

This will be a special occasion for us, celebrating 50 years of our existence as a Community and 2 years since my first service in Middlesbrough after the reopening of the church in January 2024.

We warmly invite all to join us in welcoming our Bishop and celebrating our Feast all together.

Following the Divine Liturgy, a shared meal will be offered, providing an opportunity for fellowship, conversation, and further strengthening our bonds as a community.

To help cover the cost of the meal and to support the ongoing sustainability of our church, a suggested donation of £10 is kindly proposed.

Please note that this contribution is entirely voluntary and everyone is most welcome regardless of their ability to give. 

Any support offered will be deeply appreciated and will greatly assist our Parish.

We hope you can join us for this memorable day.

Father Nikita and the Committee
