Finally; Pauline Dionis, Curt & Nicole Dionis and their daughters Brooke & Sophie will attend Divine Liturgy on Sunday, Sept 17th at the Cathedral in Boston for Fr. Nikodhim’s first service as our Archdiocesan Bishop.

Gift Announcement:  Individuals have contacted the chancery office asking about options of an appropriate gift for Fr. Nikodhim on the occasion of his episcopal ordination.  St. George is not soliciting donations, but we were instructed to advise areas to donate towards for anyone interesting in making a gift. After Divine Liturgy last weekend, a review of a letter which discusses appropriate gift options was discussed, and a copy of the letter was handed out with the weekly Bulletin.
