LADIES EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY OF ST. GEORGE, CHICAGO
Mission
We are dedicated; work collectively and diligently by fundraising to support our ministry to St. George. Our commitment drives us to support and work with families in order to serve the children of our parish to the best of our abilities.
History
The Ladies Educational Society was established in 1928 for the purpose of supporting the Greek School. It is the oldest organization at St. George. While supporting the Greek School, the Ladies Educational Society also supports the Preschool, Sunday School, Little Angels as well as any needs and requests we are able to fulfill on behalf of our parish.
Congrats to our Ladies Educational Society Scholarship Winners!
On Sunday December 15th, the Ladies Educational Society sponsored the St. George Annual Christmas Party with special guest, Santa Claus. We thank everyone that joined us in celebrating this beautiful holiday. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
