 Welcome to Saint George Cathedral! |
Since 1892, the Orthodox Christian faith has been lived in Charleston, West Virginia, brought originally by immigrants from Lebanon and Syria. In 1905, the parish was officially incorporated under the episcopal leadership of St. Raphael of Brooklyn, who in 1911 consecrated the first altar.
Located in downtown Charleston across from the Town Center Mall, St. George Cathedral serves about 400 families and seeks to bring the light of Holy Orthodoxy to the whole Kanawha Valley and all of West Virginia. St. George Cathedral is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and serves as the primary episcopal see of the Diocese of Charleston, Oakland and the Mid-Atlantic. The diocesan chancery is located here in Charleston. Divine services are held weekly. All are welcome to attend, regardless of current religious affiliation or background. |
| Rev. Fr. Christopher Eid, Dean |
Please join us in welcoming Rev. Fr. Christopher Eid as Dean of St. George Orthodox Cathedral. Fr. Christopher Eid, was raised in an Orthodox home and among the clergy of the family for most of his life. Fr. Christopher attended and served at the Archdiocesan chancery church of St George in Syria. While working full-time, he attended the CUNY Graduate Center. However, his love for the church made him quit his job, and with the blessing of the thrice blessed memory His Eminence Metropolitan Philip, he enrolled in St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary where he obtained a Master of Divinity degree in May 2010. After graduation, Fr. Christopher moved to Houston, got engaged and later the same year married his wife Katarina. Late summer of the following year, he was ordained to the diaconate on September 8, 2011 and subsequently (the same week) to the priesthood on September 11, 2011. Immediately following ordination, Fr. Christopher was given a temporary assignment to serve alongside Fr. Elias Bitar at St George Orthodox Church in Little Falls, NJ. From December 2011 to December 2014, Fr. Christopher served at the altar of St George Orthodox Church in Houston, TX. Fr Christopher is now the Dean of St. George Orthodox Cathedral in Charleston, WV. |
