St. George Orthodox Church has one of the more impressive church edifices in the Norwood area. This church in the heart of South Norwood traces its roots to Syrian immigrants who arrived in South Norwood in the early twentieth century. One of the primary tasks of these settlers was to establish an Orthodox church, the faith of their homeland. St. George embraces the faith and works hard to preserve the culture and closeness which have been a part of this parish from the beginning. As a parish, this church is committed to serving the community by working with the Norwood Food Pantry.
