Support us in buying our own church & Greek school

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our Orthodox Christian Community of Prophet Elias, Reading since its foundation in 1977, has gratefully rented the Church and Hall from our Anglican brethren, albeit under restricted use over 47 years.

Thanks to the valiant efforts and contributions of our Priests, our Church members, our Trustees and numerous volunteer Parishioners, our numbers have increased substantially. So have the numbers of our Greek language School students.

Following our members demands to acquire our own premises suitable to our needs, our Community and the Trustee Committees decided to purchase our own Church and Hall. For this purpose we are currently actively involved in negotiations with prospective Sellers of a suitable property within the Berkshire area.

The realisation of our noble project will enable us to have many more services, more teaching hours for our Greek language School and many more cultural, social and philanthropic events and activities for the benefit not only of our Community but that of the wider society of Berkshire and beyond.

Your contribution of whatever amount, for which we are most grateful, will enable us to realise our dream.

In every Divine Liturgy we pray for the well-being of the founders, donors and supporters of our church, as well for the rest of those who have departed from this life. We pledge to do this for everyone who contributes to our campaign. Please let us know if you wish to make any contributions for the memory of any of your relatives or beloved, or if you would like us to pray especially for anyone who is in need, medical or otherwise.
