A priest of the Orthodox Church, a teacher by vocation.
Serving the Orthodox faithful for many years as priest, teacher, and scholar, pairing academic rigor with pastoral care.
His weekly catechetical classes at Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church in Austin draw catechumens, inquirers, and the faithful alike. Whether treating the shape of the Divine Liturgy or the ascetic tradition of the Desert Fathers, the aim remains the same: to hand on the tradition with clarity, fidelity, and warmth.
The lectures on this site are offered freely so that others, far from Austin or unable to attend in person, may still share in the life of the classroom.
A parish of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis.
Transfiguration is an Orthodox Christian parish serving the greater Austin area. We gather each Lord's Day for the Divine Liturgy, and throughout the week for the services of the Church.
Fr. Vasileios Flegas, Protopresbyter
Serving Transfiguration since 2010, leading the parish in its pastoral and liturgical life.
Fr. Vasileios oversees the pastoral and liturgical life of the parish, where Fr. George's classroom is rooted. Under his leadership, Transfiguration has grown to more than two hundred families and completed the Mount Tabor Community Center, which opened in January 2025. While the teachings collected on this site are primarily Fr. George's work, occasional guest lectures from Fr. Vasileios appear here as well.
Inquirers are always welcome. If you are considering the Orthodox faith for the first time, please come worship with us, and feel free to introduce yourself to Fr. George afterward. Catechumen classes meet weekly and are open to all.
