Our patron saint
St Irene the Great Martyr
The holy Great Martyr Irene was born in the city of Magedon in Persia during the fourth century, and at birth her parents named her Penelope. Her tutor Apellian told her about Christ the Savior and taught her the Christian faith and its virtues.
She was baptized by the priest Timothy, who named her Irene, meaning peace. Having dedicated herself to Christ, she endured much suffering for her faith. Our mission centre is named after her.
