Ministries

The ministries of our community are created to meet the needs of the various age groups of parishioners and help organize our interaction with the larger Pittsburgh community. They give each member an expression of their God-given talents and gifts, designed to meet an aspect of our spiritual life that is well pleasing to God.

St. George Homeless Ministry

To provide parishioners with the opportunity to fulfill Christ's command to feed the hungry and minister to those in need. This ministry also provides us the opportunity to interact with and bear witness to the larger Pittsburgh community.

St. George Light House Ministry

To promote awareness of activities and events both within the parish and outside the parish. This ministry maintains the Cathedral website, the Flocknote messaging system, and the Church Directory. It also assists in supporting retreats hosted by our parish, displays creativity in hosting events involving interaction with the larger non-Orthodox Pittsburgh community, and performs the livestream services for the church.

St. George Children's Ministry

To provide the children (ages 5–12) of the parish with opportunities to learn Christian service, fellowship, and to be more aware of those in need. Special emphasis is placed on helping children understand that they bless our community and on helping them become more aware of their talents and gifts.

St. George Food Pantry

To provide food and resources to the community through food packages that can be picked up at the church and brought home. This ministry also collaborates with local community food banks and helps our community be Christian neighbors to the Oakland area.

St. George Mom's Ministry

To provide fellowship and support for the mothers of the community who are engaged in raising children in the Christian faith. This ministry is for moms of all ages and demographics, with activities including discussion groups, meals, and social events.

St. George Stewardship Ministry

To provide stewardship education to the parish, supervise the stewardship health of the community, and assist in meeting the financial needs of the ministries. This ministry steers the annual stewardship activity toward meeting the financial goals for carrying out the vision and mission statements.

St. George Men's Ministry

To provide fellowship, peer support, Christian education, and service opportunities for the men of the parish through discussion groups, service projects, meals, and social events.

Antiochian Women

To provide fellowship, peer support, Christian Ed, and ministry opportunities for the women of the parish. The Antiochian Women of each parish play a key role in supporting the Antiochian Archdiocese's yearly projects.

Society of St. George & L.A.M. (Lifetime Adult Ministry)

To provide ministry, fellowship, peer support, and service opportunities for the seniors of the parish. This organization has committed itself to helping beautify the church and to ministering to the shut-ins of the community.

Teen SOYO

To provide youth ministry, fellowship, Christian Ed, peer support, and service opportunities for teens (ages 13–19) through service projects, social events, and discussion groups.

St. George Bookstore

The St. George Bookstore has been a mainstay in our parish as a ministry of learning and glorification of our Holy Orthodox faith. It is also a way to quietly and subtly evangelize the church and its beauty. The bookstore purchases many items from monasteries within the U.S. and other Orthodox distributors. For a special gift, please contact Khouria Tammy Makoul for more information.
