This page lists those parishes and missions who either worship exclusively in English, or who serve weekly services in English.  (These are listed first by geography, then by if it is an exclusively-English language parish, and lastly alphabetically by patronal feast.)

Some parishes also serve monthly services in English, and some use some English in their services – these are noted on the respective pages for their geographic area.

Parishes in Sydney, and parishes in greater New South Wales
Parishes in Melbourne, and parishes in greater Victoria
Parishes in Brisbane, and parishes in greater Queensland
Parishes in South Australia
Parishes in Western Australia

Sadly, no Orthodox parishes in Tasmania, the Northern Territory or the ACT serve predominantly in English as yet. If you would like to change this, please contact us and we’ll try to assist in your situation. Those who are looking for Orthodox Christian services in the Northern Territory are invited to contact Fr Joel Xanthos at the Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas; and, those in the ACT are invited to contact the St John the Baptist Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
