Each year, St Paul’s Cathedral organises a retreat at St George-in-the Forest in Troodos for its congregation. This year, the Cathedral Council wishes to extend an invitation to all parishes to join them and make this an All-Island Retreat, thus giving an opportunity for Cyprus parishes to spend quality spiritual time together.

The Reverend Deborah Moorgas, Retreat Facilitator for the Diocese, has put together a programme for the retreat, which will take place on 10th and 11th October, 2025.

Accommodation will be at the Troodos Hotel (https://www.troodoshotel.com/) rates for accommodation in a single, double or triple room, to include dinner and accommodation on Friday night 10th October, breakfast and lunch on 11th October are as follows:

Eur 101 per person in a single room
Eur 150 for two people in a double room
Eur 215 for three people in a triple room

All those who wish to attend are asked to get in touch with the hotel directly to book their accommodation and to inform Georgia (georgia@spidernet.com.cy) that they have done so.

The hotel reservations manager is Kalia Tsaggaridou (kalia@troodoshotel.com Tel: +357 25420000) or reservations@troodoshotel.com

Please quote “Anglican Church Cyprus Retreat” in all your correspondence or conversations with the hotel. Georgia will also be able to answer any queries that you might have.

The Diocese does not want anyone from the North to feel they are left out of functions like this and, as we need cannot drive to the South at weekends, Georgia has said she is happy to arrange transport for anyone from St Andrew’s wishing to attend with members of the Cathedral congregation who are going.

Please join us at 10.30 in St Andrew’s Church, Kyrenia.
All donations (dry food only please) for Tulips/Help Those With Cancer Association are most welcome.

On Saturday, St Andrew’s Church handed over to a representative from the United Nations Refugee Agency, essential school supplies for 7 refugee children living in North Cyprus, whose families are unable to buy the stationery their children need for the start of the school year.

If you would like to contribute to the cost of these items, all donations will be gratefully received.
Many thanks for the donations already received. This is most generous and very much appreciated.
