His Grace was briefed on the progress related to the construction project and gave his blessing for the works to commence under the supervision of Father Valeriu Botezatu.<\/p>\n

The Romanian Orthodox Parish \u201cSaint Mary\u201d in Sydney was founded on March 18, 1973, by Romanian compatriots who had sought refuge in New South Wales.<\/p>\n

That same year, the parish was officially recognised by the state and accepted under the canonical jurisdiction of the Romanian Patriarchate. The current parish church was built starting in 1982.<\/p>\n
