St. George Orthodox Christian Church is a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, initially set up in 1979 as a mission. We are the only Orthodox Christian parish in the entire Rio Grande Valley and we welcome Orthodox Christians of all backgrounds. Indeed, we are a very diverse and rapidly growing community, of converts of several ethnic backgrounds (from Mexico, Canada, southern America, Asia, etc.) and also of "cradle Orthodox" who are Greeks, Palestinians, Romanians, Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians, Turks, etc. Our services are in English, although a few prayers are said in the many second languages of our parish members--Spanish, Greek, Arabic, Romanian, Slavonic, etc.

We also recently set up a mission to serve the Orthodox Christians of the Brownsville-Harlingen-Los Fresnos-South Padre Island area. Dedicated to the Dormition of the Birthgiver of God, this mission offers the Divine Liturgy on certain Saturdays (once or twice a month). For the schedule and location of the services, please check our own calendar below or the mission's website here!
