Hello and welcome to the online home of Saint George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Upper Darby, PA, 
a diverse community of worshipers gathering together just outside of Philadelphia 
​to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, and love our neighbors.

We'd love for you to look around, get in touch, and "come and see".

Our regular weekly services are Vespers at 5:00pm on Saturday,
and Matins and Liturgy on Sunday starting at 9:30 and 10:30am.

God Bless!
St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra
December 6
On December 6, we celebrate St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the fourth-century archbishop of Myra in Lycia (on the southern coast of modern-day Turkey). None of his writings is extant, but his examples of Christian generosity, virtue and love endure to this day. St. Nicholas is the living embodiment of the words "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20).  Read more about the life of St. Nicholas.

In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith,
an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence;
your humility exalted you;
your poverty enriched you.
Hierarch Father Nicholas,
entreat Christ our God
that our souls may be saved.
(Troparion)
