The parish of St. George extends a heartfelt welcome to Father John Mikitish who will be serving Divine Liturgy for us today, and for the rest of January.

The parish of St. George extends a heartfelt welcome to Fr John Jillions and the parishioners of Holy Ghost Church. Fr. Jillions gratitiously volunteered to co-celebrate Divine Liturgy on The Feast of Theophany at St. George for both parishes. On Satuirday, Vespers for the Eve of Theophany were hosted and co-celebrated at Holy Ghost Church in Bridgeport. 

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Gloria Ruseski who passed away this past week.  We also extend our condolences to the family of Barbara Maynard who also passed away this past week.  Memory Eternal.  

At the Christmas Eve services, following the Compline with the blessing of the bread, the parish community sang carols.  The next day on December 25th, the St. George parish celebrated the feast liturgy of the Nativity. This was followed by the traditional carol sing that accompanied our Church School children's reenactment of the Nativity story in a series of tableaux. Many thanks to Jennifer Geotz for all of the program coordination, and to the choir for leading us with the singing of the carols.

Following a pre-Christmas Choir rehearsal, members from the Choir assembled their annual Care Packages to our parish college students.  Snacks, energy bars, and candies were packed and mailed to the students as they begin their final exams before semester break.

On the occasion of the Veteran's Day Holiday, the St. George parish extends a heartfelt thank you to all our Veterans for their service to our country. May God Grant you Many Years! 

It is the Veteran

It is the Veteran, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Veteran, who salutes the Flag, 
It is the Veteran, who serves under the Flag, 
To be buried by the flag, 
So the protester can burn the flag.
