Organization

The OCA Parishes in Australia is an administrative grouping of two churches.

  • Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, Woolloongabba, Queensland.
  • St. Michael Orthodox Church, Homebush, New South Wales.

Other information

Originally, three parishes were formed out of this split in ROCOR: the above two, and a third, St Nicholas Orthodox Church, Bankstown, New South Wales, led by Archimandrite Veniamin. However, this church has since moved to the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand, while continuing to use Church Slavonic in the Liturgy and to follow the Julian (Old) Calendar.
