Igreja Ortodoxa São Jorge

Igreja Ortodoxa São Jorge, Antiochian Orthodox parish on Rua Brigadeiro Franco, Curitiba, Brazil

Igreja Ortodoxa Antioquina São Jorge is an Antiochian Orthodox parish at Rua Brigadeiro Franco, 375, in Curitiba, serving the Byzantine rite, notably the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. It began as a wooden house built on land bought by the community on 17 February 1954, completed in 1960 and consecrated in 1962 by Metropolitan Ignatios. The parish is under the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of São Paulo and All Brazil.

The Antiochene Orthodox community of Curitiba bought the plot on Rua Brigadeiro Franco on 17 February 1954, building a wooden house there for the Divine Liturgy, previously celebrated in members' homes. The works were completed in 1960 and consecrated in 1962 by Dom Ignatios, Metropolitan of São Paulo and Brazil. Father Lázaro led the work first, followed by Father Antônio, parish priest from 1965 to 1998.

The parish follows the Byzantine rite, with the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom as its main celebration. It belongs to the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of São Paulo and All Brazil, and the current parish priest is Father Samaan.

The church stands at Rua Brigadeiro Franco, 375, in Curitiba. Services follow the Byzantine rite, notably the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. Visitors should dress modestly and check local listings for service times before planning a visit.

The first wooden house on the lot was finished in 1960, and Metropolitan Ignatios consecrated it in 1962. Before that, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the homes of community members, so the parish began without any church building at all.
