Cantor and Subdeacon
John (on the right) was recently ordained subdeacon for the parish, he is also the main chanter for services, helped by his wife Katie. John converted to Orthodoxy in England 25 years ago. He has been a member of Greek, Antiochian and Russian parishes in England and Australia. He moved to Tasmania 7 years ago. He has a background in University management.
They keep the church running.
Mara and Milutin came to Tasmania as refugees 30 years ago. They do so many things around the church, from maintaining oil lamps and fixing broken things and organising parish luncheons to reading the prescribed bible verses in Serbian and also being Godparents to many of the parish’s Serbian children.
