At the same time, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to our beloved former vicar, Rev. Fr. Eldo P. Varghese.

Very Rev Fr M P George

St. George IOC Manchester had the honour of a visit by the Very Reverend Fr. M P George Cor Episcopa on August 9th and 10th. His expertise and interpretations of liturgical music during the special sessions were enlightening for all attendees. Notably, his rendition of a traditional liturgical hymn in classical Carnatic style was particularly striking. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Achen for sharing his presence and enriching the spiritual atmosphere of our church with his soulful music.
