Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Kogarah

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, it was my absolute pleasure to visit the Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Kogarah which is one of the largest Greek organisations across our region. It was an honour to announce to Father Kyriakos Michael and the team that their organisation was successful in receiving $20,000 from the NSW Government to provide new front doors to their church. This funding will revitalise the façade of the building and it will further enhance the intricate architecture of the precinct. I also want to congratulate the entire organisation for hosting a number of fantastic events as part of their Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations. Between Good Friday and Holy Saturday, the organisation had hundreds of individuals join together in faith to celebrate the importance of Holy Week within the Greek community. These celebrations reunited our local Greek community after the difficult past 12 months that we have had and it was great to see so many people involved in these local services. Well done again to the Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Kogarah.
