Another Blessed Year of Celebrating the *Feast of St. George!*

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to once again come together as a church family to honor our patron saint, St. George. This year’s celebration was a beautiful reminder of faith, unity, and community.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to everyone who played a part in making this feast a success — from the early stages of planning and organizing, to executing every detail, to those who stayed behind to clean and restore our space. Your time, talents, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

May the prayers of St. George continue to strengthen and guide our church and all who serve in His name.
