St.
George's Church was purchased in 1979, and was consecrated
by His Grace Bishop Mar Aprim Khamis. At that time,
the Parish Priest was the late Archdeacon Younan
Towana, who passed away in 1980.
Upon
purchase of the Church, refurbishments were completed
on the premises to accommodate the requirements
of conducting Church services. Currently the Church
has a seating capacity of 200.
In
the forefront of the premises, a three-bedroom house
is situated, which is utilized by St. George Assyrian
Language School and the Church Sunday School. In
addition, two portable classrooms also cater for
the teaching of Faith and Language.
Recently,
14 computers were contributed by Marsh (computer
company), through Mr. Sami Kamber (Church faithful).
These computers have been networked by Mr. Kamber
and are manipulated by the school students, enabling
them to learn the Assyrian Language and simultaneously,
gain computer literacy.
At
present the Parish Priest is Rev. Fr. Gewargis Toma
who attends to the daily spiritual requirements of
the Church and Community members.
Faithful receiving the Eucharist.
