Ministries

Parish Council

Along with the priest who is the head of the local parish, the Parish Council is responsible for the governance of the church. At St. George, there are 15 members from the parish who serve for a term of two years. The Parish Council is responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings, the coordination of ministries with the priest, and all fiduciary responsibilities.
