- The descents of the original Church of Antioch "... and it was at Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians." (Acts 11:26)
- In Ecclesiastical Communion with the Holy See of Rome Melkites recognize the Holy See of Rome and that direct successor of the Apostles Peter "in the primacy".
St. George Parish has one priest, Abouna Firas Boutros Khoury Diab. The members of the parish number about 20 households with about 40 adults and 60 children. St. George /Parish is rebuilding after being closed for seventeen years because there was no priest in the area.
