“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

OUR PARISH, Fighting the good fight with faith.

St. George Byzantine Catholic Church is a small, active parish with over a century of tradition located in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. We are a Byzantine Catholic Church, Carpatho-Rusyn in background and flavor, but indeed an American Eastern Church celebrating the Gospel in words, symbols, and action. We are unique in our mystical theology, blending the colors of our many icons with the congregational acapella chants, and raising up our fragrant incense in prayer. We invite you to come and see who we are and what we are all about as part of the Eastern half of the Universal Church. The small size of our congregation allows for intimate and familial relationships through our worship, adult enrichment programs, and spiritual and family activities. What’s more, we make the best pirohi around!  We are “off the beaten path” but close by and we welcome all from near and far to come and join us to experience the beauty and majesty of Byzantine worship and share in our rich tradition!

   I am your church.

   I am here because you erected me.

   I am beautifully situated in your midst.

   In the center of your growing community, I will be a cherished landmark to the thousands who will come to my doors in the coming years.

   You built me because you knew that your life would be incomplete, that it would not be full without me.

   I am your church.

   But I am not here simply to adorn; I am here to serve.

   Your children and growing youth will come to me to be taught the ways of honesty, industry, morality, and religion.

   Your brides and grooms come to my altar that their wedlock may be hallowed and sweetened by divine blessings.

   I am your church.

 I comfort your sick and sorrowing; I bury your dead, and offer rest and solace to the weary.

   Pardon and peace are my gift to the sin-burdened soul and my message of mercy brings new life.

   To the aged I give courage and quiet, and cause their children to call them blessed.

   I am your church.

   My doors swing open to all – rich, poor, bond, free.

   My pulpit rings out the message of good will, of peace and pardon, and Savior’s love for all.

   I teach the way of life and guide you on the road to heaven.

   I am your church.

   Make me worthy of your support and concern.

   Come, worship with me, and support me, and I will serve you all your days.
