ST GEORGE ICON PROJECT

“…sanctify those who love the beauty of Thy house.”

From the Prayer behind the Ambon from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

Icons are representations of the Heavenly. They are expressions of Orthodox faith, teaching, and worship. The Orthodox Church uses icons to assist in worship. Icons are a 'window to heaven' and they help us to focus on the divine things.

Fr. Fadi is overseeing the Icon Project to have icons written on the bare interior walls in the church. This project continues beautifying the Church for the glory of God. If you wish to make a monetary donation towards the Icon Project in memory of a loved one(s) and/or the health of your family, please contact Fr. Fadi at (973) 780-0221. Please address your check to St. George Church, earmarked Icon Project Donation.

A warm thank you to all who have donated toward the Icon Project. Based on your gifts from the heart there will be more icons to come.

PROJECT FOR THE HOLY RELIC OF ST. RAPHAEL, BISHOP OF BROOKLYN (1860-1915)

Fr. Fadi is overseeing a new project to have an altar placed in the right alcove in the church, in front of the icon of Ss. Peter and Paul, which will consist of a carved wood stand holding the written icon of St. Raphael of Brooklyn by Odysseas Bifsha, and inside of the icon his relic, removed from the old antimension, and on each side of the icon stand two candle stands so that his relic can be venerated by the faithful. Your gifts from the heart are graciously appreciated in support of the altar for St. Raphael.

If you wish to make a monetary donation towards the Holy Relic of St. Raphael Project in memory of a loved one(s) and/or the health of your family, please contact Fr. Fadi at (973) 780-0221. Please address your check to St. George Church, earmarked St. Raphael Altar Project Donation.
