Phase I of the New St. George Church

St. George Church of Indianapolis was established in 1926 and ministers to Orthodox Christians of a great diversity of backgrounds. We are united in our common Faith. At St. George’s, first and foremost, we worship together in the confidence that our Lord Jesus Christ is invisibly present with us, as He promised. We also study the Faith together in the children’s church school programs and in various adult study groups. We work together on various ministries, ranging from our charity ministry to youth ministry to building maintenance. Finally, but also very important, we enjoy fellowship with one another.

The architect's drawing, above, shows our planned new church on East 116th Street in Fishers.

Patriarch Bartholomew, the senior leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians, feels "crucified" living in Turkey under a government he says would like to see his Patriarchate die out. Despite some factual errors, the report is very inspiring (includes some footage in Turkey and on Mt. Sinai). Patriarch Bartholomew on the Last Christians in Turkey

Maria Khoury, who will be coming to Indianapolis to lead a retreat co-sponsored by the women of Holy Trinity and St. George, is interviewed in Taibeh, the last Christian village in the Holy Land. Maria Khoury on the Last Christians in the Holy Land

Both Maria and Patriarch Bartholomew emphasize their trust in God and believe in miracles.

We had a visitor attend January 24, and she wrote a review of our church service; she posted it on line, entitled, “This is Not a Church for Sissies!” She has also now posted a podcast of Q&A with Fr. Nabil.

Carl departed this life Thursday, March 11. Arrangements are tentatively set for him to be waked Sunday evening, March 14, at the Harry Moore Funeral Home, with the funeral at the church Monday morning. Please check back for confirmation and times.

We extend our sincere sympathies to daughter Diana Najjar, grandson David Najjar and granddaughter Marcy Koroneos of our parish and to all their families, including sons John and Carl Snider and daughter Janine Shurts.

Join us at 6 p.m. for the Presanctified Liturgy. Bring one Lenten item to share for a pitch-in after Liturgy, so we can break bread together after fasting from all food, drink, smoking and idle talk at least from noontime on, in preparation for Holy Communion. You are also invited to stay after the meal for a study of our Faith.

A Lenten supper will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the service of Little Compline with the Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos at 7 p.m. (On March 19, however, we will concelebrate this service at Holy Trinity Church, in conjunction with a retreat hosted jointly by our ladies’ groups.
