We promote the Christian Orthodox faith to benefit the public and particularly the Greek Orthodox community by the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.

Story

Two years ago on 7 April the One Canterbury community lost a beloved and long-time parishioner, Patricia Scott (1946-2019). Patricia was an exemplary friend and parish volunteer who actively cared for an exceptionally wide network of people. She was Senior Nurse at Sobell House, served on the Holy Trinity and Joint Parish Councils, and was a trustee for the House of Ss Gregory & Macrina. Patricia also enthusiastically participated in and supported the hospitality and charitable work undertaken by the Auxiliary Association of St Andrew, which is now launching two projects in her memory:

1. An engraved, sustainable teak garden bench will be placed in the garden looking toward the church at One Canterbury Road, Oxford. The House of Ss Gregory & Macrina has offered an excellent site near the doors leading from the library into the garden. The chosen engraving will be: Patricia Scott (19462019) / Friend & Pillar of the Community.

2. A newly commissioned, unique icon of Ss Patrick & Helen will be installed near the candle desk where Patricia stood and welcomed us into the church for so many years. The saints chosen honour Patricia's birth name as well as her baptismal name Helen, and the completed icon has arrived from the monastery of Chrysopigi in Crete and can be seen in the church.
