St Wanas Parish vs Agpeya

Our Reverend Father, Suriel Hanna, welcomes you and your family to St Wanas Coptic Orthodox Church. We are a church of the Orthodox Christian Faith established on the day of Holy Pentecost in the Year 33 AD. Our church is part of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Sydney under the auspices of His Grace Bishop Daniel and led by the Pope of Alexandria and the See of St Mark, His Holiness Pope Tawadrous II. We are pleased to be able to introduce you to the same worship and fellowship as it is expressed in the life of our church. If you are a church member or considering joining our community, this app will acquaint you with what our church offers. We pray that you will enjoy learning more about the Orthodox Church and our parish and welcome you to join us in worship as we continue our faith journey.
