St. George Albanian Orthodox Church, which organized in 1925, was the first to offer Orthodox church services in the Albanian language in Bridgeport, Conn. Its early services were held in the chapel of Saint John Episcopal Church. After several moves, the church was consecrated on its current Trumbull site in 1980. Rev. Sergei Bouteneff has been the pastor since 1989. All services are in English with a 3 to 5 percent response in Albanian from the choir.
