Thank you

Father Lou Very Reverend Fr.Louis Mahshie

Serving our church since 1978

Welcome to The St. George Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church of Akron , Ohio . Our church was established in September of 1917 by a group of Arabic-speaking Orthodox Christians who came from modern-day Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Jordan. Over the years the parish moved from its original home near downtown Akron, to a home on the West side of Akron, and then to a temporary home East Akron. In 1987 we moved to our present home in suburban Akron : 3204 Ridgewood Road , Akron , Ohio 44321.

The 2010 annual essay competition about Christian Conduct has been
completed. As it was done in the last three years, our foundation offered the
Sunday School graduating students an opportunity to win a $500
scholarship by writing an essay discussing our Lord’s teaching of how
Christians should face the challenges of the modern secular society. Two contestants, Carla Aramouni and Selena Reale, accepted the challenge and
submitted two very well written essays on the subject. We asked three
qualified persons from other Orthodox Churches to render an opinion as to
which essay should take first place . Two of the judges assigned first place
to Carla while the third assigned first place to Selena. As we have done in
the past Carla the first place winner will receive a $500 stipend and
Selena the second place winner will receive a $400 stipend. We congratulate
Carla & Selena, and encourage our future college bound students to

participate and show us how Christians should conduct their life
