Father George has been a steady presence at that Cyril and Methodius church on Mira Prospect for years. Happy 60th to him — may the Lord give him health and strength to keep serving the Assumption deanery.

Father George has been in that church on Mira Avenue for a long time; I remember how he served back in the 2000s. Thank you Metropolitan Seraphim for your kind words. I wish him good health for many years to come, may he continue to nourish the Assumption District.

Yes, Father George has been in this church for about twenty years now. I also remember him from when my husband and I just moved to Kaliningrad. Thank you for writing, Ksenia, it’s good when such priests remain in place.

Father George, it's true, long ago in the church on Prospekt Mira, he himself was there a couple of times in the service back in the early 1900s. Good father, always calm and to the point. May God give him health for many years, so that he will continue to nourish Uspensky District.

Father George really has been a rock at Sts. Cyril and Methodius all these years. I remember him quietly sorting out the choir schedule when my son was still singing there as a teen. Good to see him reach 60 still going strong in the deanery.

Father George is truly reliable, like that old oak tree near the church on Mira. I took his granddaughter to Sunday school about five years ago, he always found time to talk like a human being. Thank you, Ksenia, for reminding us about the 2000s—those services immediately came to mind.

Father George was the one who first got me into the youth group hikes back when my kids were little. He always made sure the choir schedule didn't clash with their practices either. Glad he's still steady as ever at 60.
