St. George Orthodox Church

About this church

St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in West Roxbury publishes Sunday Matins at 8:50 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10:00. Services are broadcast through the parish website and social channels, allowing people to observe the liturgical pattern before visiting. Online adult formation includes Bible study, catechism, and Byzantine chanting, with a separate Arabic Bible study at 7:30 p.m. The church’s explanation of Orthodox Christianity gives icons a central place as visual witnesses to Christ, the saints, and sacred history rather than objects of worship.

The parish has served the Boston area for almost 120 years. Its present West Roxbury church, built in 1978, is the community’s sixth place of worship, and the congregation reports approximately 1,600 members. Formation is carefully divided by age: HOPE serves kindergarten through second grade, JOY serves grades three through six, SOYO connects teenagers, and a fellowship gathers adults in their twenties and thirties. Outreach supports Orthodox missions, hunger relief, the Boston Rescue Mission, and other humanitarian work. St. George therefore combines a large, historic immigrant-rooted parish with English and Arabic learning, livestreamed liturgy, Byzantine tradition, and structured paths for children, teens, and young adults.
