About

Saint George is a young Church. As a result of great enthusiasm, a dynamic group of individuals received the call from God to establish a new Church with great hope and expectation, the State of California approved of a license, followed by an approval of Sayedna Mar Athansius Y. Samuel, God bless his soul. The approval date was Sept. 1st. 1987. The pride of Saint Church has been a new Church is born. For the first seven years, Rev. Fr. Noumeh Farah served the Church as the main minister. With great effort on his part, the Church grew from a few families to about two hundred families in 1993 Rev. Fr. Farah decided to partially retire. The Board with great gratitude accepted his decision and asked for the ordination of Rev.Fr. Botrous Rouboz. Presently the main minister is Rev. Fr. Botrous Rouboz. Rev. Fr. Farah was assisting with all the advice possible until he passed away on Dec 20. 2001 from heart failure, He has had previous health problems. He was laid to rest in Burbank, California.
For three years Saint George served its congregation by renting a Protestant Church. In 1991 a location with a Church on it was found and purchased. The present address of the Church is 925 Harding St. San Fernando, California, 91340.
An ultimate goal of Saint George is to work on producing a young Christian generation of the Syrian Orthodox faith, a generation believing in God and in themselves. The leadership recognizes that the beauty of the Church depends to a create extent, from the deacons to the choir. All efforts are being given to neat that beautiful goal.
