Canon Thomas A. Nind served as our Parish Priest for fifteen years, from 1937-1952. The hall and kitchen were built and furnished for community use entirely with funds raised by the congregation. It was dedicated on November 28, 1970, by Bishop Snell.

FIRST SUNDAY IN JUNE is DECORATION DAY.
It is a special day to remember and honour our loved ones. The Decoration Day Service begins in the Church at 10 am. and then move to the lovely grounds of St. George’s Cemetery.
Please feel free to decorate the graves of your loved ones, preferably with cut flowers on the stones which will not impede the lawn mowers.
We are grateful to the Grafton Legion who, each year, mark the graves of those that have served in the Armed Force
