God bless you all! About us: The St. George Mission Fund was established by the St. George parish council in 2021. Its purpose is to provide our parish with a relatively stable and growing source of funds to fulfill and expand our ministries as an Orthodox Christian community. These are the religious, educational, cultural, and fellowship activities of our parish. Mission Fund resources are not used for operational expenses of the church. These are maintained through your stewardship and other donations. For more information click: sgmf_faqs_2022-10-27.pdf Grant Approval: We are pleased to have been able to issue these 2024 approved grants so far: College Connection Spring Mailing, Spring Lenten Retreat, Greek School and Scholarships to (3) of our St. George High School Graduates: Demetra Bicos, Drew Heppner, and Niko Kountouriotis. Congratulations and God Bless you all as you begin University in the fall! We still have more approved 2024 grants to honor as this year continues! Stay tuned! These good works are able to be done through our St. George community's generosity. A grant request form must be submitted by a parish member in good standing by December 1st of the year prior to its expected use. The St. George Mission Fund Board of Trustees then reviews all the requests and grant approval is determined by the following February 1st. Grants must be consistent with the purpose of the mission fund. Consideration is also given to where the grants will do the most good and the size of available funds. The form is accessible in the Forms and Application tab! Donations: Your generous donations allow us to flourish as an active community.
