Apolytikion for Holy Protection of the Theotokos
O Virgin, we extol the great grace of thy Protection, which thou didst spread out like a bright cloud beyond all understanding; for thou dost invisibly protect thy people from the foe's every assault. Since we have thee as our shelter and certain help, we cry to thee with our whole soul: Glory to thy great deeds, O most pure Maid. Glory to thy shelter most divine. Glory to thy care and providence for us, O spotless one. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Apolytikion of the Church
Great among the Saints and glorious Martyr George, you are the one who delivers all the captives, a defender of the poor, doctor to the ill and a champion of kings. Intercede with Christ our God, that He may grant salvation to our souls.

Kontakion
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Ministry
Fr. Chris, October 28, 2009
     At a meeting we had the other night, there was a discussion about ministry. The point was being made that St. George, like any church, should be putting its efforts, resources, time and money behind the ministries, not other things that zap our energy and wear us out.
     As a priest, the point was well-taken. I could not agree more. Jesus Christ, when He established His ...Read Full Text >
