Services at Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church

We generally have Divine Liturgy at 9.00am on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, with Matins at 6.00pm the preceding Saturday evening. For other services, please see our current Schedule of Services, below. On the first and third Sundays of each month our rector serves at Saint Panteleimon Russian Orthodox Church, West Gosford, and on the fifth Sunday, when such occurs, he visits and serves on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales.
