This handy location meant that many families were able to ride the streetcar directly to church. Today, the streetcar corridor is the well-used recreational pathway lying just beyond the church. In 1929, the Catholic Women's League held a weeklong fall fair or tombola at the Hibernian Hall, next to the firehouse on Parkdale Ave. The parish netted over $5,000 for the event, a huge sum of money at the time. Later, the fair was held at the corner of Island Park Dr. and Richmond Rd., on the property of the Champlain Garage, with many attractions, including merry-go-round and Ferris wheel rides. The CWL also organized its members into groups to canvass for the Stations of the Cross, the Tabernacle and other needs of the new church.

The Catholic Women's League began a CWL council at St. George's in 1923, which ceased to function in 1998; its records document parish life. The Knights of Columbus set up a council that continued to support parish life, social events, and parish fund-raising.

John MacDonald committed the parish to sponsoring a refugee family and asked Frank McAlpine to chair a parish refugee committee. Numerous parishioners were part of the refugee effort, which began in July, 1979 and ended in December, 1980. Some $20,000 was raised in the parish with several groups divided according to tasks, i.e. clothing, food, furniture, recreation, housing, medical needs. The refugee family consisted of two parents and four children. When the sponsorship ended, there was a surplus in the budget, which was directed towards another refugee family.
