VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — St. George Orthodox Church invites family and friends to join them to celebrate 120 years of Orthodoxy in Vicksburg.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, Vespers will begin at 5 p.m. with His Grace Bishop Nicholas of Miami and the Southeast at St. George Church.
Beginning at 6 p.m., the Keynote Speaker will be Keith Fulcher. This presentation will take place in Baroudy Hall at St. George Church. Fulcher is a third-generation great-grandson of Lebanese immigrants. His love for his Lebanese heritage was fostered in Vicksburg, Miss., by his grandmother, Minnie Farris Nohra, who indoctrinated him in the Phoenician culture.
Fulcher continues to pursue his love of Lebanese history and culture through his active involvement in the Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese Clubs of America, as a member of the Arab American Museum, and a supporter of the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies at North Carolina State University and the Rene Moawad Memorial Foundation.
There will be a reception to follow, and an RSVP is appreciated. Please call 601-750-4243 to RSVP.
