Stewardship:
Whether you are new to our parish or have been a steward for many years, welcome to St. George Greek Orthodox Church of Clifton, New Jersey! We invite you and your family to participate in our spiritual, outreach, social and youth ministries. The Church is here for you and your family to proclaim the Orthodox Faith and make our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Church the center of your family’s life! We invite all those who have offered an annual gift in the past to try and maintain or even increase their contribution this year. For those that have never given an annual gift, we need your help. You can make a difference today with your participation. We understand that philanthropy is something very personal. Each person is invited to give according to their ability. If you are able, please consider joining one of the following giving levels this year: ($5,000 or more – Grand Benefactors, $2500-$4,999 – Benefactors, $1,000-$2,499 – House of Stewards, $800-$999- Patrons). Of course, whatever you decide to give please know that you have our utmost gratitude and appreciation, and please know our Church is here to serve your each and every need. The important thing to keep in mind is that we need everyone to do something. Sincere thanks to those who have already made their Stewardship Commitment for 2023!

Caretaker Needed for St. George:
After 30+ years of dedicated service, Effie and Vasili Triantafillou have informed the Parish Council that they are retiring from their duties this coming June. They have been such an integral part of our St. George family for decades and will be truly missed. We are grateful for their commitment and love for our Parish over these many years. The Parish Council has initiated a search for their successors. A job description is available at the Church office. The ideal candidate will live on site in the apartment behind the gymnasium. Please call 973-779-2626 with any suggestions or inquiries.
Sponsor A Day Program:
One way to help the church is through our “Sponsor A Day” program. We encourage our parishioners to select a day that has special meaning to them like a birthday, feast day, anniversary or a memorial and make a suggested donation of $250. We would like to thank the Daughters of Penelope for sponsoring April 23rd, the Feast Day of our patron Saint George the Great Martyr. For more information about the program, please speak to one of our Parish Council members, Ministry Leaders or call the church office.
