St George Greek Orthodox ChurchPrint Page 
The St George Greek Orthodox Church is dedicated as a war memorial in memory of Australian soldiers of Greek origin who lost their lives in both World Wars and Australian soldiers who lost their lives in Greece during World War Two.
The idea of building a Parish Church in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney started in early 1956. With the concerted efforts of some 100 families, the construction of the present sacred edifice was completed in early 1962. Beginning with the first Liturgy of 8th April, 1962, the Church was consecrated by Archbishop Ezekiel and dedicated as a War Memorial by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Eric Woodward, on 24th November, 1962.
