About Us

We are a Parish within the Diocese of Sourozh, Moscow Patriarchate. The Diocese in this country was founded by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of blessed memory. The diocese is headed by Archbishop Elisey of Sourozh. Our priest in charge is Archpriest Ìèõàèë Gogoleff.

We are a multi-ethnic community and Orthodox Christians from various nationalities worship with us. Our services are in English and Russian (Church Slavonic) and we follow the old calendar. The services may be attended by anyone who is interested, although only Orthodox Christians may receive Holy Communion at the Divine Liturgy.

 

Here you can find the current schedule of the services. For further information contact Elya Kisina, tel: 0117 9140282.

News and Events

Since we moved to the new place (31 March 2012) we had many events in our Parish.

We had services on Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday, through the Holy Week and Great Easter celebration on Easter Sunday. The weather was very good and after the service attended by more that 50 parishioners and guests with kids of all ages, there was a feast outside the church – tables with paschal food were laid on our green lawn.

On our Patronal feast  - Holy Trinity day (3 June) – in Russian tradition we decorated the Church with branches of birch tree and flowers. Among others Fr. Kyril from the Eastern Orthodox Church was our guest.

We had baptism in May (youngest daughter of Olga Taylor), wedding  (Larisa and Pilipp Scofield) and admission of the new member to the Russian Orthodox Church (Michael Coward) in July.

On 29 July, Sunday of the Commemoration of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils, Archbishop Elisey of Sourozh celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Parish of the Holy Trinity in Bristol for the first time in this new place. (See photogallery at www.sourozh.org.uk)
