St. George is undertaking a special fundraising project as a parish during our Centennial Year (2025).  The fundraiser is called "Buy A Brick" 
 
The fundraiser is being used to finance the building of a “Prayer Patio” on our church grounds. The approximate location for the Prayer Patio will be on the right side of the church just off the parking lot, between the sidewalk that leads to the rear of the property and the church.  Click onto the following link to view the location:  St. George Prayer Patio location
 
The patio will be constructed with concrete brick pavers of a red brick color.  To support the construction cost, personalized engraved bricks can be purchased to be part of the permanent patio.
 
Donors may purchase personalized brick pavers as a way to permanently honor individuals, their family, and even to memorialize their deceased family members who were members of the St. George parish over the past 100 years.
 
We have set a goal to get a minimum of 100 bricks donated by our 100 year Anniversary celebration, which will be on June 22, 2025.  We are hopeful that this project will appeal to almost everyone, and we will exceed our goal.  
 
We will be collecting orders for the next 6 months, until the end of June 2025. The patio will not be built by the Anniversary celebration, but we will order the bricks to build the patio shortly after our Centennial Celebration.
 
The bricks are available in two sizes:
a 4 inch x 8 inch brick for a cost of $100, and
a 8 inch x 8 inch brick for a cost of $200.
 
The brick pavers will be engraved/etched with the donor’s requested names and/or message, with the etching finished in a black exterior paint.  There are sample bricks available to look at in the church hall.
 
On the 4x8 inch brick, you can utilize up to 3 lines (20 characters and spaces per line). 
For the 8x8 brick, 6 lines are available with a maximum of 20 characters/spaces per line.
Below please find links to some graphics with “Sample Messages” you may consider using.  All messages will be centered top to bottom, and left to right.  If you would like a blank line in the middle of your message, on the order form, you will be able to leave the appropriate line blank for the vendor to follow.
 
If you have any questions, please see or contact Curt Dionis at CPD19@att.net   or text/call on his mobile:  203-446-7195.  Please contact him after 6PM (after he gets off of work). 
 
Also below, please find links to order forms to purchase a personalized brick – please note there are separate forms for each sized brick.  You may bring in or mail the order form to the church (5490 Main St  Trumbull, CT  06611), or feel free to take a photo of your completed order form with your mobile phone and text the photo to Curt Dionis (his contact info is in the prior paragraph), or even scan your order form and email it to Curt.
 
Payment for any brick can be made by cash, check, or by credit card.   When using a check, please make the check out to St. George Orthodox Church with a notation ”Buy A Brick”  in the memo space.  You may pay by credit card utilizing the St. George Trumbull website -  go to the Support/Donate link on the top navigation bar on our Home page, click onto the red “Donate” box, and complete the boxes as displayed.  Please click onto “Buy A Brick – Prayer Patio” in the Give “To” box.
