Popis
**St Sava Serbian Orthodox Church** is a Serbian Orthodox parish in Australia and the first Serbian Orthodox church established in the country. Located in Flemington, a suburb of Sydney, it serves as a spiritual and cultural hub for the Serbian Orthodox community in Australia.
### History
The church traces its origins to post-World War II Serbian migration to Australia. In 1951, following Feast of St. Sava celebrations, a church committee was formed under the leadership of Reverend Father Milenko Stefanović to establish a permanent Serbian Orthodox parish[4]. Construction of the church began soon after, and it was consecrated in 1954, becoming the first purpose-built Serbian Orthodox church in Australia[3][4]. The church was dedicated to Saint Sava, the 13th-century founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and a key figure in Serbian medieval history[4].
### Role and Activities
As part of the **Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Australia and New Zealand**, St Sava Church supports liturgical services in both Church Slavonic and Serbian, alongside English-language sermons[1][5]. The parish organizes religious education, cultural events, and community initiatives, reflecting its dual role as a spiritual center and a preserver of Serbian heritage. Its establishment marked a foundational milestone for Serbian Orthodoxy in Australia, paving the way for over 50 additional parishes and monasteries across the country[5].
### Governance
St Sava Church operates under the canonical jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Australia and New Zealand, which was elevated to a metropolitanate in 2011[5]. The parish follows the liturgical traditions and administrative structures of the Serbian Orthodox Church, with clergy appointed by the episcopal authority.[1] https://www.stsava.org.au [2] https://saintsava.org.au [3] https://soc.org.au/the-70th-anniversary-of-st-sava-serbian-orthodox-church-in-flemington/ [4] https://saintsava.org.au/history/ [5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_Orthodox_Eparchy_of_Australia_and_New_Zealand
