Pastor - Father Joseph R. David
Ordained on November 27, 1993, Fr. Joseph first
served at St. George Parish in Wilkes-Barre, PA followed by St. John the
Baptist in New Castle, PA before coming to our St. George on September 21,
1998.
“ It's been a gift for me to be a part of this beloved parish family
of St. George Maronite Catholic Church, as we walk hand in hand together,
seeking to fulfill God's call to grow in holiness and to evangelize others in
the gift of faith. Yes, our Maronite family is a vibrant, loving community of
faith. The torch of our ancient Maronite ancestry has been passed on to us,
and we, in turn, strive to live it, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
and pass it on to our children.”
