St. Mary St. Bakhomios & St Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church
A Coptic Orthodox parish in Australia, St. Mary St. Bakhomios & St Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church operates under the Diocese of Sydney and Affiliated Regions, which oversees Coptic communities in New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory, and parts of East Asia[1][4]. The church is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) under ABN 40828692116RR0001 and participates in liturgical, educational, and community outreach activities typical of Coptic Orthodox parishes in Australia[^1^].

As part of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Australia—a denomination with roots tracing to apostolic times—the parish adheres to traditions including the Coptic calendar, liturgical Coptic language, and ascetic fasting practices[2]. Like other Australian Coptic churches, it likely provides weekly services, youth programs, theological education, and charitable initiatives, though specific details about its founding date and congregation size remain unspecified in publicly available records.

The church falls under the pastoral care of Bishop Anba Daniel, who has led the Sydney diocese since 2002 and oversees monastic communities such as the Monastery of St Shenouda the Archimandrite in Putty, New South Wales[4]. While distinct from St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Arncliffe (which offers specialized ministries like young mothers' groups and migrant support), St. Mary St. Bakhomios & St Shenouda shares the broader diocese's focus on spiritual guidance and social engagement[5].
