"Well done, thou good and faithful servants." (Matt. 25:21)
Reverend Father Antony, Esteemed Members of the Board of Trustees
dnd all the faithful of St. George Church:
Greetings and blessings to all of you in the Name of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We deeply rejoice with you in the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of your beloved parish. Surely, the founders of St. George Church
-those who are still alive and those who have departed to life
eternal-have left their spiritual marks on our souls. They deserve
our prayers, gratitude and admiration for a job very well done. The
pioneers who founded St. George Parish are indeed a fine example
for all of us in sacrifice, struggle, devotion and determination. Thus
as we immerse ourselves in the joy of this occasion, let us resolve
that the glory of yesterday, the determination of today and the dreams
of tomorrow be wedded together in one hope for a glorious foture.
We commend the pastor of St. George Parish and his Board of
Trustees for planning this celebration and for these solemn hours of
remembrance and meditation. Let us never forget, beloved children
of Christ, that life does not stop at one point in history but it rather
moves in a continuous procession. Let us reach out forward and up.
ward with mighty arms and make the presence of God real in this
turbulent world. Our young people need our attention, patience and
love more than ever. Are we willing to set a good example for them?
Let us concentrate our efforts on the human personality for God loved
man in spite of his falling nature and shortcomings. If we are united
together in the bond of love with one mind and one heart, nothing can
stand in our way.
Congratulations on your Fiftieth Anniversary!
"Well done, thou good and faithful servants." (Matt. 25:21)
Yours in His service,

�For what does it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and loses his soul. Luke 9:25
Truly, we now live in a very troubled world. What with wars, and
threats of ,vars, drugs and the pushing of drugs at our children, immorality
and temptations 0f immorality on all of us, divorce and the increase in divorce,
abortion, and in fact, all its implications, there is an attack on all sides on
1he very basic unit of our society, "the family." Where can we go to overcome
all these things? Where do \\'C find the solutions? The Church. Christ, His
teachings and commandments,
th0ugh nearly two thousand years old, are
still relevant and the key to solving all problems.
These "concerns" faced our founding fathers in a more limited WclY
when they crossed the ocean to their adopted homeland, America. YC't with
all their hardships and barriers to overcome, they survived and were very
~ucccssful. Why? Their faith. They, not mlssionaries, brought Christ and
His Church to the Americas. They used thE' Church as the focal point of their
lifo. Every'i:hing revolved around the Church. They lived in Sacramental and
soda! unity; they abided, according to the commandments,
in love a11d
brotherhood; the Church was so essenti:11 that it was in thP.ir h0mes. They
prayed, played and paid together. No 0b.stacle was tno great. They cmpbed
themselves spiritually, physicaliy and financially for the good of th0ir
families and for the glory of God. These were the cha11enges and accomplishments faced by our founders. These were no mean accomplishments.
They
were verHy great, for they were done in Cod's name.
REV.FATHERANTONYBEAUCHAMP
What lies ahead in the next fifty? We have our Church buHdings, our
homes and cars, jn other words we'rP secure materially. Vve ha.ve worked so
hard at the material and social goals in recent years, that our r.piritual life
has suffered. We have a mission as Orthodox in our troubled society; that
is to help them find peace, that peace found within the Church. Yen, we are
beginning a new era, one with challenges far different than those of our
founding fathers and yet with tho same solutions. Our age is on which
requires extreme patience, superb example and most important nf all, a
total 2ommitment to Christ V./e must pray more, increase in our sacramental
life and community worship, participate to the fullest extent within the
Church. Get involved! 'fhis involvement is not merely within the confines
o.f our families and Church groups, but extends out into every sphere of our
society. "So faith by itself, if it has no work:,, is dead" (James 2:17). \Ve
must get involved in our society throuf;h organizations within and without
the Church, through our assoc:ations personal ::md professional. \Ve must
become s0 Orthod0x that tho8e exposed to us will realize that the Orthodox
way of life fr, the orthodox vvay of doing things. This is the challenge and
destiny of our next fi.fty years. Onward. Christian Soldiers!
Yours, in our Resurrected

�BRIEF HISTORY OF ST. GEORGE'S ORTHODOX CJIDRCH
The history of our parish begins with the arrival of the first immigrants to
the ew World from Syria '1.bout the turn of the present century. Arriving first
in Carnegie, some of the new immigrants soon moved to Bridgeville and other
nearby areas. At the beginning the new Americans attended various local nonOrthodox churches. They turned for their Sacramental ministrations to the Russian Orthodox church of Carnegie. From time to time a Syrian 01thodox priest
stopped m the area and held services in people's homes.
In time the Syrian Orthodox of this area decided that it was necessary to have
their own church because they wantC'd their children to grow up in their ancestral
Faith. About 1920 the St. George Orthodox parish was formed. The first members
of the parish commi1tcc were: Michael Antion, Joseph David, John Elias,
Abraham Monsour, and Murray Toney. Other founders of the parish were Aboud
Saha, AlexanctC'r Abraham, Albert David, Michael Charley, Alexander Abraham,
John Elias, George Corey, Joseph Sam, Samuel Deep, Zag Elias, and Geo:.·ge
Monsour.
A small building waE acquired. on McLaughlin Run R0ad in Bi-idgeville and
this served the parish as a church for about twenty-five ye,ars. The building had
been a former black-smith shop and it took ali the efforts of the parishion<..rs to
transform it into a cozy church. Present-day parishioners have many nostalgic
memories of that tiny church. Because of the lack of funds it was difficult to
suppo1-t a priPst and there were frequent changes in pastors with weeks and
months passing without services. For many years children were sent to non·
Orthodox Sunday Schools. Later a Sunday School was organized at St. George's
by Mrs. Sarah Ferris under the guidance of Father Luke Corey.
Throughout the years of its existence the church was served by many priests,
some coming for holidays, others staying for a few months. The Very Rev. Arch·
priest Nicholas Oficsh of New Kensington served the parish from 1928 through
1932. Father Nicholas visited the parish once a month through those years anrt
managed to keep the parish from scattering. Fr. Nicholas was called at other
times for buri.als, etc. In the 1930's the parish sent for Father Luke Corey from
Syria (Khoury Luqa) and he remained a few years until he was caned to the
Pittsburgh parish. Other priests who served the parish were: Father Paul Corey
(Khoury Boulos), Father George Khoury. and Fr. Anthony Sakey (1946-1947).
Occasionally Father Meletios Kourey of Homestead was called to administer
Sacraments.
As the years passed and the families grew larger, a need was felt by a few
parishi<mers of foresight to erect a larger church and haYe a permanent pastor.
These f cw realized that in the course of many years many of the American-born
members of the parish had strayed away from the Faith of their fathers, had
joined other churches, were lost through mixed-marriages, or simply went no·
where. Almost an entire generation was lost to the Faith. Chief among the far·
sighted memb::!rs of the parish who wished to see a new and larger church was
Mr. Phillip (Habeeb) Hanna of Carnegie. Despite the negative response of almost
the whole parish Mr. Hanna, believing in the feasibillty of his dreams, proceeded
with the project practically single-handedly, organizing the financial bacldng
involved in starting the task.
Services. were continued in the small church on McLaughlin Run Road until
1945 when it was sold as a private residence. The lot under the present church
was purchased m 1940 from Dr. Clarence McMillen through the efforts of Phillip
Hanna and Joseph Abood who formed the Building Fund Committee. ActuaJ
work on the present edifice did not begin until after \V•,rld War II, in 1947, and
1t was not completed until 1950 at a cost of abuut $85,000. The church was
dedicated on 24 May 1950. Present at these celebrations were Archbishop Antony
(Bashir) and Archbishop Samuel <David). The first. pastor of the new church
was Father Jerome (Gerasimos) Yared, and it was largely through his £-fforts
that the interior of the church was finished. Fr. Yared encouraged parishioners
to donate the various sto.ined gla~s wi1tdows and icon.:: in the church. In October
1950, however, Fr. Yared left and Metropolitan-Archbishop
Antony appointed
I1'r. Nichola.s F~detz, pastor of St. John's Rm:i-ian Orthodox church of Cat.onsburg, to care for the spiritual needs of St. George's church.
After the construction of the church the American-born element in the padsh
took more of an interest in the pRrochial affairs and the parishioners generaJly,
motivat<~d by the need to pay off the :;.nortgage, worked together for the common
good. There were various fund-raising drives and endless social affairs wc:>re
held to raise money. Never before had St. George's parish seen such activity
and it seemed to prove that there is nothing like a stlff mortgage t~ make peopl~
wo)·k together. In a matter of five years the parish was cleared of debt. On 29
May 1955 the burning of the mortgage took place at a ceremony pre~ided over
by His Eminence, Metropolitan Antony.
In the five yean that Fr. Nicholas Fedetz c~red for the parish, it grew in
size and parishioners became usc>d to attending Sunday services evC'rv week.
Thro~gh the cffo:;ts of Fr. Nich0las a choi;_~was organized, singing u~der the
drrect10n of Miss Sylvia Antion, a;-;sisted by Richard Ferris. Also in those years
thf:: Sunday School continued its fine work under the direction of Mrs. S:uah
Ferris.
At Christmas of 1955 a new chapter began iu th2 history of the parish. On
that day Father David F. Abramtsov cclebr~ted his first Divine Liturgy in
St. ~eorge's church after being appointed to the parish by Metropolitan A~tony.
Prev10us to the coming of Fr. David, the Liturgy had not b2en celebrated in its
c?mplete forrr. and Fr. Nicholai:; could devot.a only part of his time to the parifh
smce he wzs pastor of another church. Now th~ parish r.ould f1..1nctionnormally
and it b0 ,-;,an to Hve a ful10r liturgical life. In preparation for its own fn1l-time
pa~tor, the parish had ::llr0ady acquired a rectory on Pennsylvania Avenue in
Bridgeville.
D ~hr ~i~e .~?.ck beg_un by Fathers Yared and Fedetz was continneti by Fr.
avid. Tne pc1.11shcontmued to grow and more peoplP. began to come to seniccsnecessitatir.g the additinn of more pe,vs. The Sunday School facilities have
now been tax(•d to the limit vvith the 76 children in the l!hurch hall. The church
has acquired many new items necessary for Divine Worship-very
generously
d~natcd by faithful and pious parishioners. The pari~h with a professional Choir
Director. Mr. Warren Carson, since 19~8 can jnstly be proud of its choir. Previo~sly the choir was taught by Fr. David and directed by Richard Ferris and
Diana Deep. 1959 saw the re-organizafrm of ::i Men's Society and the formation
of the St. Gecrge SOYO.
h Looking back over the years, ii can truly be said that St. George's parish

Khalifah Family Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Raja Khalifah was born in Lebanon and attended the American University of Beirut, where he played tennis and earned a BS in Chemistry. After his graduation in 1962, Khalifah immigrated to the United States to continue his education. In 1967, he obtained a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Princeton University. He then held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard University before moving to Stanford Medical School to conduct research in pharmacology.</p>
<p>Though he initially intended to return to Lebanon upon completion of his advanced education, the violence of the Lebanese Civil War foreclosed this opportunity. Khalifah facilitated his mother's immigration to the United states during this period. Khalifah belongs to the American University of Beirut Alumni Association and the Triangle Lebanese Association.</p>
<p>Between 1993 and 2000, Khalifah served as a Research Professor in Biology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. In 2000, he shifted to the sphere of public pharmaceutical research, working for Biostratum and then NephroGenex. In 2009, he started his own consulting firm, Raja G. Khalifah Consulting, where he provides consulting related to scientific research, clinical trials, development, and pharmaceuticals related to diabetes. Khalifah holds numerous patents related to the pharmacological treatment of diabetes.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection is composed primarily of photographs. Images include Raja Khalifah’s family members and ancestors in early-twentieth century Lebanon, biomedical pharmacology and research, the Triangle Lebanese Association, and tennis.</p>
