A group of parishioners from St. George attended a “Faith and Family Night” at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport on Sat, Feb 15th for an evening of hockey, fellowship, family fun, and to support a worthy cause. There were about 450 Orthodox Christians who participated from 15 Orthodox churches. Participants were primarily members of FORCC (Fellowship of Orthodox Churches of Connecticut), but also parishes from central NJ up to Boston participated. His Grace Bishop John Abdalah (from the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese) and Rev. Peter Orfanakos from St. Barbara's Church (Greek Archdiocese) in Orange, lead a seminar before the game on the theme “All You Need Is Love”. The net proceeds from the ticket purchases, about $2000, went to the IOCC (International Orthodox Christian Charities) for their hurricane relief efforts. Below please find 2 photos.
