In 1992 Pope Shenouda III delegated Fr. Abanoub Attalla to
establish and serve Saint Mina and Saint Marina church, the sixth
Church in Melbourne. Liturgical services first began in a hired hall in
Endeavour Hills.
On 3 March 1993 His Holiness Pope Shenouda III laid the foundation
stone for a permanent church for Saint Mina and Saint Marina and
services began in the new makeshift church on 9 April 1993. On 23
November 2000 workmen began digging the foundations for a new
larger building that would have space for a hall, Sunday school rooms
and two churches; one each for the English and Arabic liturgies. Stage
one of the building is no complete with a beautiful church hall build to
combine the beauty f the Coptic iconography and architectural style
with the most modern facilities. The Church was officially opened on 3
January 2002.
