Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are delighted to share the news that Bishop Raphael visited our church on Sunday, 25th January 2026.
This was be a special occasion for us, celebrating 50 years of our existence as a Community, 30 years since the signing of the agreement for the shared use of the church of St Columba, and 2 years since my first service in Middlesbrough after the reopening of the church in January 2024.
Following the Divine Liturgy, we all shared a meal and enjoyed the opportunity for fellowship with Bishop Raphael.
With gratitude to all who contributed making of this day such a special Feast for us all.
In Christ
