Exterior Restoration of Saint George: We did it!

As we marked with the Archpastoral Visit with His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, we have completed the major milestones of the exterior restoration at Saint George! This restoration is the result of many years of both fundraising and planning. We would like to thank all who have supported this effort—we are indebted to you!

Become a 2025 Steward  - Please see details below  

2025 Stewardship – St George Greek Orthodox Church (04/04/25)

Stewardship is the cornerstone of giving to the Church. It represents each family’s individual financial commitment to the continuation of the Church, and the collective commitments serve the practical function of allowing our church to meet its expenses. 

On Sunday, February 16, we held Stewardship Sunday. Three community members shared what Saint George means to them. The Parish Council distributed Stewardship 2025 brochures. If you would like to learn more about our parish or make a pledge, you can find the brochure here.

The Church’s goal is to completely offset its annual operating expenses through stewardship contributions. Meeting that goal would provide the Church with the stability and sustainability to use funds from fundraisers and other donations to expand ministries and to build existing programs, rather than having to use those proceeds to cover the Church’s operating budget.
