History and Establishment
The history of the Greek Orthodox presence in Canberra dates back to the early Greek immigrants who settled in the area, with significant growth occurring by the mid-20th century. By the 1960s, there was a substantial need for a consecrated Greek Orthodox church in Canberra. Consequently, St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was consecrated on October 30, 1968, and has since been a central place of worship and cultural celebration for the Greek diaspora in Canberra[3].
