Saint Mary and Saint Abasikhyron Coptic Orthodox Church
The second Coptic Orthodox Church in Wales was bought by the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Midlands in 2005 under the supervision of H.G. Bishop Missael as Coptic Orthodox services began there later that year.
At first the Church did not have its own Priest, therefore the mass was held there on Saturdays by a visiting priest, Father Bishoy, from the Coptic Orthodox Church in Manchester. However, nowadays, the Church has its own priest, Fr. John Saleeb.
Address: 25 Trinity Avenue, Llandudno, North Wales.
The church was consecrated by Pope Shenouda III during a visit to the UK on Saturday 29 March 2008.

I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”

To do the job too long he tarried:
He should have had my hearty vote
To cut his throat before he married.”
