Yesterday, the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Sydney & Affiliated Regions, joined Liverpool City Council Australia, community leaders, clergy and local representatives for the inauguration of the Mother St Mary the Virgin statue at Bigge Park, Liverpool.
The new statue stands as a beautiful symbol of comfort, hope and prayer in the heart of Liverpool, particularly for patients, families and visitors to nearby Liverpool Hospital.
It was wonderful to see representatives from different Christian traditions and across our wider community come together in a spirit of faith, compassion, unity and respect.
We thank Liverpool City Council and Mayor Ned Mannoun for this meaningful initiative and for recognising the important contribution of faith communities to the life of our city.
May St Mary’s example of humility, faith and love continue to inspire and bring comfort to all who visit.
