О НАС | ABOUT US
Добро пожаловать на сайт Православного Прихода святого мученика короля Эдуарда. Мы - православная христианская община в графстве Дорсет. Наш приход принадлежит Сурожской епархии, Русской Православной Церкви (Московского Патриархата). Богослужения проходят на церковно-славянском и английском языках.
Наш приход был основан 25 апреля 2009 года, в первую субботу Пасхи в стенах церкви святого Стивена в Пампхилле, Уимборн.
Мы будем рады приветствовать вас на наших богослужениях, которые проводятся один раз в месяц (обычно в третью субботу) в церкви святого Дунстана в Пуле.
Выражаем искреннюю благодарность настоятелю этой церкви, отцу Хризостому, за предоставленную возможносить совершать Божественную Литургию, так как у нашего прихода нет собственного храма.

Welcome to the website of the Orthodox Parish of St Edward King and Martyr. We are a community of Orthodox Christians living in Dorset. We belong to the Diocese of St. Stephen of Sourozh in London of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). Our services are held in both Church-Slavonic and English languages.
Our Parish was inaugurated on the 25th of April 2009, the first Saturday of Easter, in the buildings of St Stephen's Church in Pamphill, Wimborne.
As our parish does not have a church building of its own, we are grateful to Fr Chrysostom for the opportunity to hold our monthly services (usually on the third Saturday of the month) at St Dunstan's Orthodox Church in Poole, where we would be glad to welcome you.
Please feel free to contact us through our website with any queries.
1st of February is the day of commemoration of Maria Forrest, the founder of our community, the churchwarden of our parish and the singer of the parish choir.
Originally from Moscow and a holder of a degree in Accounting and Finance, after relocating to England, Maria started working as a Russian language and literature teacher. Many of her students hold loving memories of their dear teacher and her captivating lessons; of a Person with a capital “P”, who could effortlessly instil love for the beauty and spirituality of Russian culture.
Maria had always been by the side of our parish priest in charge, Maxim (Nikolsky). She was his right hand and his loyal helper. Maria was full of energy and open to any new venture. She would organise pilgrimages to sacred places and became a godmother to many children born within our parish community.
It was through her prayers and her hard work that the parish choir was initiated. People in our parish were made feel at home, nurtured by mutual support and common prayer - all thanks to the wonderful churchwarden, Maria.
Maria will forever remain a role model to us in what it is to be a Human, a true Christian with a passionate heart, full of love for God and people.
Memory eternal to the servant of God Maria!
