​Fr Nicholas Karipoff celebrates 45 years of ordination!

On the Feast of Annunciation, April 7, 2026, our rector celebrated the 45th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. Fr Nicholas has spent those 45 years as priest and rector of Holy Protection Cathedral, Melbourne, arriving here in May 1981.  We thank Fr Nicholas for his years of service, dedication, inspiration and spiritual guidance to our parish, and wish him many more years!  Congratulations too, to matushka Anna, their children and numerous grandchildren, all over Australia.  Многая лета!
