Organized as The Hellenic Orthodox Community of St. George in 1905, the community built their first St. George Greek Orthodox Church in 1907 on Pine Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. In 1968, the community built their current church on Hanover Street, which was formally consecrated and elevated to the status of cathedral in 1970. The Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral‘s structure and adjoining community center were designed by Christopher P. Kantianis who drew inspiration from both modernism and traditional orthodox church design. The Byzantine-influenced interior artwork was designed by Serio Tonelli and depicts Saint George and the history of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The Transfiguration of Our Saviour Greek Orthodox Church was founded in 1924 to serve the liturgical needs of the growing Greek immigrant population in Lowell, a thriving mill town. It’s current structure was completed in 1956 through the generosity of 200 families. Nevertheless, it would be another thirty-six years for the interior to be complete with its beautiful mosaic iconography that includes both male and female saints by New England artist Robert J. Andrews who began the project in 1963. The interior is considered one of Andrews’s masterworks.
