Parish Religious Educaton Program
We are now excepting new registrations for the 2019-2020 school year. If your child has not had any religious instruction and needs to receive First Penance, First Holy Communion or Confirmation, please call the Rectory Office at 610-237-1633 for details. Our PREP is for children in grades 1-8 and begins in September and runs thru the first week in May. Classes are held on Monday afternoons from 4:45 PM to 6:00 PM and 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM. Please contact Mrs. Lynda J. Batten, PREP Coordinator, 610-237-1633 for details.
Children need religious education in their lives to help them know God and to remain grounded in their faith, which will sustain them through their lifetime. Please consider joining us.
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program is for older students and adults. These sessions are held on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM. If you are an adult and did not complete your sacraments, if you were never baptized Catholic, or if you would like to learn more about the Catholic faith, please contact Sister Lorraine Muglie, SSJ, Adult Faith Coordinator, for details.

Rosary Group
Our Rosary Group meets every Thursday in the Chapel at 7:00 PM to pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaput. Please join us and pray for your special intentions.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Adoration will not be held during the summer months but will resume on September 6, 2019. Each Friday, beginning at 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM, the Eucharist is exposed in our Chapel for Eucharistic Adoration, inviting you to come and spend time with Jesus in quiet prayer. Please take some time to stop by to pray for your intentions and those of your loved ones. This year, we pray most especailly for peace. Prior to Mass, we offer up the following prayer:
For Peace
Mary, Queen of Peace, save us all, who have so much trust in you, from wars, hatred, and oppression. Make us all learn to live in peace and educate ourseles for peace, do what is demanded by justice and respect the rights of every person, so that peace may be firmly established. Amen.

Sacrament of Confirmation
The St. George Parish Community welcomed The Most Reverend Edward Deliman on Saturday, June 8, 2019, for our 4:30 PM Mass. Bishop Deliman conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation on 14 of our Confirmandi, who had been busy preparing during this PREP year. Please pray for Bishop Deliman and for the continued journey of faith for these newly Confirmed.
