Parish
Sheffield St. George Indian Orthodox Church
England, United Kingdom
The St. George Indian Orthodox parish is located in Sheffield, in the South Yorkshire County, in the north of England. The Congregation was formed at Hull, East Yorkshire in April 2005 with St. George as its patron saint and was blessed by Late. Metropolitan Philipose Mar Eusebios who celebrated Holy Qurbana. Thereafter, monthly services were held under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Happy Jacob. Later, due to special circumstance, members started congregating at Sheffield from July 2006 onwards. In December 2006 Late Metropolitan Dr. Thomas Mar Makarios blessed the members with his valuable visit. Under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Varughese John, regular celebration of Holy Qurbana commenced from 2007 onwards. It was later in July 2009, that Diocesan Metropolitan Dr. Mathews Mar Thimothios officially declared the congregation as a Parish with Rev. Fr. Varughese John as the first Vicar.
The Parish celebrates the Holy Liturgy on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month as well as all major feast days. Additionally, if a month has a fifth Sunday, the Holy Liturgy is also celebrated on that day. All Spiritual organizations of the Parish function actively and fruitfully, fostering spiritual growth, fellowship, and service among members of all age groups.
