Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Our parish feast will take place on Sunday, 4 October 2026. On this occasion, we will also celebrate the anniversary of the dedication of our church, exceptionally brought forward from 25 October, as indicated in the calendar, due to the Archbishop’s unavailability on that date.

We are pleased to invite you to celebrate the Divine Liturgy with us. The service will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will be presided over by His Eminence Simon, Archbishop of Brussels and Belgium.

After giving thanks to the Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us, we will gather for coffee and a light refreshment and share the joy of Christian fellowship.

We will be very glad to welcome you and to spend this day together in the house of the Lord.

On behalf of the parish,

Quote from the Holy Fathers

There never has been, is not, and never will be a carefree place on earth. A place without sorrow can exist only in the heart, when God is in it.
