On Sunday, May 26th following Divine Liturgy (which is Memorial Day weekend), we will hold our annual commemoration of the deceased military veterans of our 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 believes we only have one military serviceman who was our parishioner, Michael J. Vani, who died in service (during World War II). 

St. George has expanded our remembrance to include all the deceased veterans of our “parish family”, and relatives of our parish family that served in the military and are now deceased.  There are two additional names of servicemen who died during their military service - William Liolin and Victor Peristere - they were not parishioners of St. George, but relatives of our parishioners.

For the service, the veterans of our community will stand honor guard around the center Memorial Table.
