Remembering our Deceased Veterans - Memorial Day 2026

On Sunday, May 24th, St. George recognized Memorial Day by praying for all of our deceased military veterans from the parish family. Memorial Day is a holiday that was established to officially remember those who have died in service to our country (Veterans Day was established to officially thank our living veterans).  St. George expanded our remembrance to include all the deceased veterans of our “parish family”, adding relatives of our parish family that served in the military and are now deceased. The living military veterans participated during the Memorial Service by standing vigil in honor of their memory.  Click onto the following to view the list of names: St George - Names of Deceased Military Veterans   Memory Eternal!  Below please find a few photos.
