St. George's Anglican Church, St. Georges

St. George's Anglican Church, St. Georges

The origins of Saint George's Anglican Church trace back to its initial construction in 1825, marking its significance as one of Grenada's oldest religious landmarks. However, the church faced adversity in 2004 when Hurricane Ivan wreaked havoc upon the island, leaving the church devastated in its wake. Despite losing its roof to the destructive force of the hurricane, the spirit of the church remained undeterred, with restoration efforts underway to revive its former glory.

One of the most notable features of Saint George's Anglican Church is its four-sided clock, which stands as a testament to the church's endurance. Miraculously surviving the ferocity of Hurricane Ivan, the clock serves as a town timepiece, bearing witness to the resilience of the community and the church itself.

Although the church may lack a roof, its altar remains steadfast, providing a focal point for worship and reflection. Services continue to be held within the confines of the open-air chapel, offering solace and spiritual guidance to those who seek it. The sound of the bell, chiming every hour, serves as a poignant reminder of the church's enduring presence and its commitment to serving the faithful, despite the challenges it faces.

Within the church's interior, memorial plaques adorn the walls, commemorating moments from its storied past. These plaques serve as poignant reminders of the church's rich history and the lives that have been touched by its enduring legacy.
