They are booked for the Sunday inside the first 40 days, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months from the date the departed fell asleep then annually thereafter during the Saturday of the Souls service.

To book your Memorial Service (Mnimosino) and have your “Kollyva” professionally made and presented at the front of the Church for the day (ie boiled wheat mixed with sweets such as sugar, sultanas etc) please contact the parish office on (02) 9587-5945 during office hours or register your interest below and someone will call you. The fee is $70.00.
After the service is completed the Kollyva will be taken to the front of the Church to distribute to the people. If you wish, the Kollyva can also be taken away for distribution at your home or Hermes Lounge if you are having your memorial there as they are individually packed in sealed containers (Please let us know at the time of your booking if you wish for this to occur).
Should you wish to have your memorial catered for next door at Hermes Lounge please contact them on 0452 182 020 or by email at enquiries@hermeslounge.com.au.
