Saint George Orthodox Cathedral is a multi-ethnic Orthodox Christian parish located in Regina, Saskatchewan. Our community was originally founded in 1914 by Romanian immigrants and has grown into a vibrant, prayerful and diverse community of cradle and converts believers that tries to continue "steadfastly in the Apostle's doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers" (Acts 2:42), being "led by the Spirit of God" to be "sons of God" (Romans 8:14).

Our Patron Saint

Saint George the Martyr

Akathist

  • April 23rd

  • Liberator of captives, defender of the poor, physician of the sick, and champion of kings, O trophy-bearer, Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.

  • Cultivated by God, you became manifest as an honorable tiller gathering for yourself the sheaves of virtue. For you sowed with tears but reaped with gladness; in the contest you competed with your blood and came away with Christ. By your intercessions of Holy One, all are granted forgiveness of sins.
