St. Spyridon Parish of South East Sydney
The St. Spyridon Parish of South East Sydney is the Greek Orthodox parish presence in the south-east region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The parish functions through the authority of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, which derives its jurisdiction from the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.

Overview 

The church was built from 1961 in stages in the simplified East Mediterranean style, flanked by twin towers, designed by M Z Avramidis, and completed in 1973. The colourful iconography within was painted by a Greek artist. A tablet in front of the church was unveiled by the Governor of New South Wales in July 1975 to commemorate Australian Greek soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in World War I and World War II.

The church is listed on the Randwick local government heritage register.
 
The parish has the vital responsibility for being the founder and having executive authority over St Spyridon College.
