Feed the Hungry
The Saint George Feed the Hungry Program began with the leadership of two caring parishioners, Susan and Albert Alexander. "They showed us the way." The couple believed a church such as Saint George needed to reach out to the greater community, and the best way to do that was to prepare a meal and serve food to several shelters in the area. What the Alexanders found was a ready and able volunteer group led by Julia Plomasen to prepare a "hot" meal to complement all the foods. Learn More »
Int Decoration Program
The program to beautify the interior of Saint George was started in 1983. It was finally finished in 1998, just prior to the consecration of the church. Learn More »
NIH Kollecas House
Approximately thirty-five years ago, Dr. John Nihoyianopoulos, a cardiologist from Greece, and Dr. Andrew Morrow from NIH were post-graduate students at Johns Hopkins University. At that time, Greece did not have the facilities for open-heart surgery. The two medical doctors joined forces and agreed that when Dr. Nihoyianopoulos returned to Greece, he would begin sending patients, mostly children with congenital heart malformations to NIH for therapy.
