On Saturday and Sunday 17-18 August 2013 the parish rector presided at services in honour of the Holy Martyr Eusignius of Antioch and the Forefeast of the Transfiguration.  At the end of Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning a quantity of organic honey from the Wollombi Valley - a gift from friends of our parish - was blessed, the jars of which were then distributed to the faithful.  Also blessed on this day were a number of new white vestments for our altar servers, the work of the Saint Elizabeth Convent in Minsk, Belarus.  The purchase of these new vestments was made possible by the hard work of our Ladies' Auxiliary.
