Join us for an extraordinary evening of celebration, culture, and joy as St Johns Greek Orthodox Parish of Cairns proudly hosts a spectacular Gala Dinner to mark the historic Consecration of our Church by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios.This once in a lifetime milestone will be celebrated in style on Saturday 27 June 2026, at the elegant Pullman Reef Hotel Casino, Cairns, bringing together faith, heritage, and community for an unforgettable night.
The consecration of a church is a deeply sacred and meaningful event in the life of a parish. It represents the dedication of the church to God’s service—transforming it into a holy space that will nurture worship, faith, and community for generations to come. This celebration honours not only this sacred moment, but also the journey, dedication, and love of those who helped make it possible.
We are honoured to welcome dignitaries and clergy from across Australia, along with parishioners, friends, families, and visitors travelling from interstate, regional areas, and the wider local community. This weekend is a joyful reunion—an opportunity to reconnect with past parishioners, reflect on shared memories, and acknowledge the many people whose commitment, fundraising efforts, and hard work helped build St John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Cairns.
On the night, guests will enjoy:
