The Banner of Saint George

 

We are a Christian nonprofit committed to showing the love of Christ through service, storytelling, and cultural restoration. We work with individuals and families facing profound difficulties—foster youth, those grieving through hospice care, young people experiencing homelessness, and people navigating crisis or trauma. In these places of pain and silence, we seek to be present, to listen, and to walk gently with those who might otherwise be forgotten. Our work is grounded in faith, mercy, and the conviction that every life bears the image of God.

Father Flanagan House

​

​One of our most urgent and heartfelt initiatives is the Father Flanagan House—a faith-rooted residential community for teen boys experiencing homelessness. Inspired by the legacy of Boys Town and modeled on a trauma-informed, spiritually grounded framework, the Father Flanagan House is being built in Howell, Michigan as a place of safety, structure, and belonging. Drawing in youth from across metro Detroit, Lansing, and beyond, the home will provide not just shelter, but brotherhood, mentorship, education, and formation. Through rhythms of prayer, discipline, martial arts, and daily life shared in community, the Father Flanagan House aims to raise up a generation of young men who know they are seen, loved, and called to live with purpose.​

 

We bring together a unique blend of experience in pastoral care, crisis counseling, spiritual formation, and outreach ministry. Members of our leadership team have served in clinical rehabilitation settings, jail-based addiction counseling, and end-of-life care. Others have spent years working directly with youth in vulnerable circumstances. This wide range of ministry experience allows us to approach our work with wisdom, humility, and compassion—meeting people where they are and offering both practical support and spiritual hope.

 

Knights of Saint George Press

​

As part of our mission, we also operate a publishing ministry: Knights of Saint George Press. This wing of our nonprofit focuses on producing books, memoirs, homilies, and spiritual reflections that open up the richness of Christian life. We also specialize in publishing historical fiction, biblical fantasy, and stories that explore the ancient world through the lens of faith. Our desire is to foster a culture where imagination and theology come together, where beauty and truth are not separate paths, and where even unfamiliar voices have space to speak.

 

We believe that good stories and faithful service both reflect the nature of the Gospel. That’s why we view literature and ministry not as separate projects but as two sides of one calling. Our publishing efforts support our outreach, and our outreach informs the kind of literature we promote—stories that are honest, hopeful, and rooted in something deeper than sentiment.

​

Our Creed

 

At the heart of all we do is the ancient Christian confession proclaimed in the Nicene Creed. We do not seek to invent a new gospel, but to live the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic faith with integrity and love in our own generation. Rooted in the Church’s unbroken witness, we affirm the truth of Christ—“God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God”—and labor to serve His kingdom in every quiet act of mercy and proclamation. Whether we are sitting beside the dying, mentoring a troubled youth, or transcribing the wisdom of the saints, our work flows from the faith once delivered to the apostles and is offered entirely in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

​

Our Name

 

We chose the name Banner of Saint George not only to symbolize courage, but to remind us that the Christian life involves battle—not against flesh and blood, but for the dignity of the human person, the healing of the brokenhearted, and the restoration of hope where it has faded. In every encounter, and in every page we publish, we aim to lift high a banner that points not to ourselves, but to the One who came to serve.

 

Our Supporters 

We rely on the generosity of supporters to make this work possible. Donations go directly toward maintaining our ministry outreach, funding our book projects, and expanding our ability to serve vulnerable communities. Whether you are drawn to the charitable arm of our mission or the creative work we publish, your gift helps carry this vision forward.

 

We thank you for standing with us under the Banner of Saint George.
