St. George's Anglican Parish (Transcona)

Groups and Activities

St. George's is an active and growing church. Some activities we do within our community include helping at the Transcona Area Food Bank and by providing pastoral care and monthly church services at Park Manor Personal Care Facility.

The Sunday School is open to all children over the age of three and takes place at the same time as the Sunday service at 10:30 a.m. Stories, discussions, crafts and singing all make up parts of this program.

Below you will see a list of some of the activities within the Church:

The Garden Centre:

Each spring, volunteers from St. George's open, operate and maintain a Garden Centre at Regent Park Shopping Centre, in 2006 moved to the corner of Brewster Avenue and Regent Avenue. It runs for about six weeks. This year is our 23rd season and starts on Saturday, May 7th, 2011: bedding plants, hanging planters, perennials, vegetables, bagged soil, seeds & gift certificates available. We plan to stay open till mid June. Hours: Sat & Sun (8:30-6), Weekdays (10-7:30) ... weather & volunteer support permitting!

St.George's would like to thank all volunteers and patrons who supported our Garden Centre this year.
