Saint Titus of Crete

With the blessings of His Eminence Evgenios II of Crete and the blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, the Cretan Association of Sydney hosted all the Cretans and the wider Greek community to the inaugural Feast Day Celebration of Saint Titus of Crete.  

His Eminence, Archbishop Evgenios II of Crete has gifted the Cretan Federation of Australia & New Zealand an icon of Saint Titus of Crete in the hope that he becomes a Patron Saint of one of the Cretan organisations in Australia. The President & National Executive of the Federation decided to gift the icon to the Cretan Association of Sydney with the blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia. Other Patron Saints will also follow for other Cretan Organisations of Australia.

The Cretan Association of New South Wales hosted all the members of the Cretan Association of Sydney and the wider Greek community  to the inaugural feast day celebration of Saint Titus on Sunday 27 August 2023 at the Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Theotokos, 242 Cleveland Street, Surry Hills.  The icon of Saint Titus was displayed at the church service on Sunday and will also be permanently placed in the Cathedral for all parishioners to venerate. 

We thank His Eminence Archbishop Evgenios and the Cretan Federation of Australia and New Zealand for this gift and high honour bestowed to us Cretans in Sydney and look forward to commemorating St Titus every year.
