We are in the process of creating a new directory
for St. George parishioners. We have reserved
eight days in May to take these pictures: (May 1014, May 17-19). You may schedule your appointment after all weekend liturgies, by calling the
church office, or online: https://www.securedatatrans14.com/ap/stgeorgemaronitecatholic/
index.php?page=10. If you cannot make any of
the photo sessions, you can send high resolution
pictures to be included in the directory. The photo
sessions will include hours during the day, night,
and Saturday. We encourage full participation by
all parishioners. A complete and updated directory is invaluable to all—especially to our new parishioners. Our directory won't be complete without you! Sign up today!
Rehearsals have begun! If you are still interested in joining, please contact Debbie
Fernandez at 210-415-8260 or
debmusic@sbcglobal.net

Sign-up for volunteers will start on May 7 after all
weekend liturgies or by calling the church office.
 THANK YOU
A special thank you to Cecilia Herrara, who
joined us on the trip to Lourdes and Fatima, and
who donated an altar cloth for St. George in
memory of her father John Peter Elizondo who
was born on May 13, 1917, the date of the first
apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima.
 FOOD & CLOTHING DRIVE
