We are Catholic. We are Anglican. What does that mean?
We are Anglican.
For the first thousand years, all of Christendom was united.
The Anglican Church, also known as the Church of England, separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. The process of this separation, known as the English Reformation, was a complex and multifaceted historical development. The establishment of the Church of England as a separate entity from the Roman Catholic Church marked the beginning of the Anglican tradition. Over time, the Church of England developed its own distinct theological identity, liturgy, and ecclesiastical structure, while retaining certain elements of Catholic tradition. Today, the Anglican Communion is a worldwide association of churches with roots in the Church of England, and it includes a diversity of theological perspectives and worship styles.
We belong to the Anglican Province of Christ the King.

We are St George's Anglican Church.
Who St George was, and who he was not!
St. George was a soldier with the Roman army who after converting to Christianity, led to the overthrow of the pagan Roman Empire resulting in his torture and beheading for his Christian faith in the year 303, in Lydda (modern day Palestine). He is the patron siant of soldiers for both England and Portugal. St. George is unique among the saints in Church history because he is popular in both the Eastern and Western Churches. St. George is usually depicted in Christian art as a soldier on horseback slaying a dragon with a lance or spear. This image is a representation of a popular legend of St. George which first appears in 1265 in a romance titled "The Golden Legend," in which he saved a town terrorized by a dragon with one blow of his lance. The image, however, is also, and more significantly, a powerful symbol of the victory of Christian faith over evil (sometimes interpreted more contextually in the early Church as “paganism”). Evil is personified by the devil who is symbolized by the dragon, according to the imagery in Revelations. St. George wears red, which symbolizes his martyrdom and emphasizes that "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church."
May Christ gives us the same resolve and courage as St. George to fight the world, the flesh and the devil.
