I greet you all on this very joyous occasion of the 50

Anniversary in Coral Gables!

This is an historical moment in the life of the

Cathedral. These moments are unforgettable and

help to realize our mission by renewing our

commitment to God in all we do. I remember when I

first came to the United States from Brazil in 1959.

Saint George Cathedral was the first Church I visited

in 1959.

I served here for a short while as a Deacon under

late Father Michael Husson. This is my first Church in this blessed

country and it was my first step. This is history for me.

I offer my sincerest thanks to the Committee who worked very hard to

remember this moment. I am deeply grateful to you.

I congratulate you all and I pray God grants many years to Saint George

Cathedral and all the families who call her home!

Your Father in Christ,

+Bishop Antoun

I am so very pleased to join with my highly esteemed

and well-loved brother, His Grace Bishop Antoun of

the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast, in

celebration of the 50th Anniversary of his Cathedral

of Saint George's presence in Coral Gables.

Eis polla eti, despota!

I pray God's richest blessings and many years for

Father Saba, Archdeacon David and all the faithful

of the Cathedral parish family, and God's mercy and

memory eternal for Fathers Spyridon Dora, Louis Secabe, Basil Sedaoui,

Michael Husson and the founders, benefactors, beautifiers and

members of this holy Cathedral now departed this life.

Your Grace Bishop ANTOUN,

Your Grace Bishop BASIL,

Reverend Clergy,

Esteemed Members of the Cathedral Council,

The Faithful of Saint George Cathedral,

Friends and Supporters, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I greet you joyfully on this historic occasion of Saint George Cathedral's 50th

Anniversary in Coral Gables!

It truly is a blessing to have celebrating with us His Grace Bishop ANTOUN

and His Grace Bishop BASIL. This alone is historic to welcome them and

have them in our midst. May God grant them many years!

Saint George Cathedral was first established in 1953 in Miami with the purpose

of having a home for the Orthodox Christian community to worship and give

thanks to God for all His blessings. In 1966, 50 years ago, a new home was

found in Coral Gables. To celebrate 50 years is to celebrate 50 years of

Orthodox Christian witness. 50 years of service, 50 years of giving. 50 years

of growth, 50 years of joys, of pains, of tears, of sacrifice, of labor, of life, of

dedication, of Stewardship, of love, of development, of vision.

A vision for the future.

Today, the future begins. Today, the next 50 years begin. Today, growth

continues. Dedication continues, labor continues, development continues,

sacrifice continues. Giving continues.

Today, I thank all those who labored in the early years and in 1966. They have

produced fruits for generations to come.

I thank those who labor and sacrifice for the well being of this Cathedral, some

of whom will be recognized tonight for their efforts. Congratulations to all the

recipients!

I thank Mrs. Haifa Khoury and her committee for their diligence and hard work

in making this weekend possible. May God bless them all!

I wish you all a Happy 50th

Anniversary and I pray to the Almighty God to

continue bestowing his heavenly grace upon this community! And we continue

offering thanks as the Apostle Paul teaches the Corinthians, "For it is all for

your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people, it may increase

Thanksgiving, to the glory of God." (II Corinthians 4:15)

Yours in Christ,

Father Fouad Saba

a business degree in accounting summa cum

laude, a law degree summa cum laude and a

Master of Laws in Taxation, all from the

remained members continuously ever since.

After law school, Richard took the CPA examination and received the

in 1955 and he practiced law in Miami and Coral Gables from then

until his retirement earlier this year.

Also in 1955, Richard, Sonya and their eight-month old first child,

Temple. They still attend services almost every week and many other

Temple functions as well. Their daughter and her family are also active

members of Temple Judea.

“A Commitment is Something We Keep …

Long After the Time We Made the Original Commitment

Has Long Past … thus We Change our Own Lives and

the Lives of Others.”

To all of those past, present and future generations of St.

George, your commitment to this Great Cathedral will be

everlasting! It is in the power of belief of the few that makes

the dreams a reality for the many. My mother, my father and a

handful of people believed in you and this community. It was

not a fleeting thought or a maybe or a wish…but a true desire to

impact the lives of the many who came forth and believed with

them… believed that through the faith in that of a mustard seed

that all mountains will be conquered and believed that God and

His Son Jesus Christ will be your guiding light to eternal peace,

joy and love.

Blessings to this great community of people both far and near

and in memory of all of those before us and to those who will

succeed us; keep that belief, that faith, that passion, that trust …

and pay it forward to the many generations who will carry the

torch of St. George Cathedral into eternity.

On behalf of our family … Congratulations to Father Saba

and the Parishioners in this Golden Jubilee!
