Welcome to Saint George Church!
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Our Saint George Greek Ortrhodox Church family wholeheartedly welcomes Protopresbyter Andreas Vithoulkas and Presvytera Anthoula. Fr. Andreas will assume his role as Proistamenos of our parish, and it is our distinct honor to have him as our spiritual father, as he also serves as Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Fr. Andreas has served in parishes in Long Island and Connecticut, before he was appointed to assume the office of Chancellor by His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America in November 2019. Fr. Andreas and Presvytera Anthoula have two twin boys, Nikolas and Petros. The entire Vithoulkas family is very excited to become part of our parish and have a church to call home.

Our Marilena’s Meals program is on hold for the time being. We have donated our funds to NYC Relief and to the Coalition for the Homeless, as they are continuing their efforts to help our most vulnerable members of NYC; those without food and shelter.
If you would like to help those living in NYC without food or shelter, the following organizations are currently safely running operations:
NYC Relief: https://nycr.givecloud.co/coronavirusresponse
Coalition for the homeless: https://www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/donate/
We hope to resume our efforts at St. George in September 2020.
Please feel free to contact May Vlachos for information on sponsorship: marilenasmeals@gmail.com
