Welcome to our community!

Our parish is part of the worldwide Orthodox Church under the Episcopal oversight of Bishop Basil of Amphipolis. We belong to the Vicariate of Great Britain and Ireland, within the Archdiocese of Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe, an Exarchate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Our community follows the Russian Liturgical Tradition. We have diverse Orthodox backgrounds, including Russian, British, Romanian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Polish. We worship together with the Greek Orthodox Community of the Holy Trinity (a parish under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira & Great Britain - Ecumenical Patriarchate) in the Orthodox Church of the Annunciation and the Holy Trinity, at 1 Canterbury Rd, Oxford.

The Divine Liturgy is celebrated in our church every Sunday. Starting from September 2007 our parish leads the services according to the Russian Tradition on the second and the fourth weekends of the month when the Vigil and the Liturgy are celebrated mainly in English and Slavonic. We also use some Romanian and Greek in our services. See the Schedule of services for more details. The routine of services includes

  •    Saturdays - Vigil or Vespers at 5:30pm,
  •    Sundays - Divine Liturgy at 10:30am, preceded by Matins or Hours.
