A heartfelt congratulations to our 2020 and 2021 St. George honorees who were recognized on Sunday for their dedication and service to our church and community. Congrats to Sharon, Marie, Paula, Doug and James – we very much appreciate all you do!
Congratulations also to our senior scholarship recipient Isabella, and to graduates Paul (seminarian), Fr. Maximos (Doctorate), and Elian (Bachelor of Science) for your well earned degrees.

“Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord.”
On April 10th, we launched our first free brown bag lunch program. We distributed 125 brown bag lunches to interested New Kensington neighbors.
We are grateful for the Food for Hungry grant that we received from our Antiochian Archdiocese that enabled us to fulfill our goal to enhance our current programs and reach out even more to our local community.
We welcome you on Saturday, May 15th from noon to 1:00 pm in our St. George parking lot when we will again be offering free brown bag lunches, first come first serve.
Our volunteers continue to safely distribute food to our New Kensington Food Pantry recipients. The generous food donations are provided by the Westmoreland Country Food Bank. Distribution at St. George is typically the first Friday of every month.
Please contact us at 724-335-9988 if you would like to be added to our Food Pantry distribution list.

On December 6, we commemorate our Father among the Saints, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia.
After Vespers yesterday evening, our children enjoyed hearing a special visitor read the story, “Saint Nicholas and the Nine Gold Coins.”
With St. Nicholas as the model of giving, our church school shared some special gifts with our children, and the children brought in food donations to assist in stocking our emergency food pantry.
We welcome Father Justin Mokhiber as our new pastor.
Father Justin has worked for many years at the Antiochian Village Heritage and Learning Center in Ligonier. He is a graduate of St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, and is also the Chair of our Diocesan Parish Life Conference Committee.
May God grant many years to Fr. Justin! Axios!
