Irish Council of Churches. Irish Inter-Church Meeting

Romanian Orthodox Church

Section:

It all started in the year 2002 with a small improvised parish and it numbers now 14 parishes spread all over the country (Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Balbriggan, Kildare, Newcastle West, Portaloise, Waterford). It was constituted as a Deanery until January this year when it became Diocese of Ireland & Iceland with the head being Bishop Nectarie. According to the last census there are around 45000 Romanians living in Ireland with majority being Orthodox Christians which means that we have to increase the number of parishes and clergy in the next years. All parishes use Romanian and English as the worship languages except for the Saint Brendan church which uses only English so that Orthodox Christians from other nationalities (American, Canadian, Ukrainian, Polish, Arab, Spanish, Brazilian, Japanese) can have access to the religious services.
