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.

Famous quotes containing the words saint, orthodox and/or church:
“A saint is good who wanders constantly.
Water is good which flows continuously.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
