Parish of Saint George Website: saintgeorgeolympia.org
Saint George Byzantine Catholic Church is a parish church of the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Phoenix.
We are a fully Eastern, and fully Catholic parish in the Carpatho-Rusyn Christian tradition, whose people lived for more than a thousand years in remote villages scattered along the foothills and valleys of the Carpathian Mountains of East Central Europe and were evangelized in the 9th century by the missionaries sent from the Byzantine Imperial Capitol of Constantinople, Ss Cyril and Methodius. While our liturgical, musical and spiritual patrimony is Eastern European, we are not an ethnic parish, our services are all in English, and our members are from all ethnic backgrounds. Our goal is to preach Jesus Christ and to live a spiritual life according to the Gospel...but in an Eastern key! All Catholics of whatever tradition can fulfill their liturgical obligations at our services and we have many visitors of various backgrounds who come and pray with us.
"The light of the East has illumined the universal Church..." - Pope St. John Paul II
