SUPPORT FOR PANAGIA GORGOEPIKOOS MONASTERY - GEELONG
As many of you are aware, the building works at the monastery dedicated to Panagia Gorgoepikoos, are an ongoing project. With God’s help and the faith and dedication of the faithful from around Australia, so much has already been achieved.
The newly built Katholikon (main Church) is dedicated to Panagia Gorgoepikoos. There are two side chapels, dedicated to St. George the new Confessor of Drama and St. Porphyrios the Kavsokalyviti.
While the Katholikon is now being used for services, the next stage of the Katholikon work requires internal walls and ceilings and the completion of electrical and plumbing works.
If you are wanting to contribute towards the next stages of these works, or to see the progress of the building works, please click the link below.
