 St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Brooklyn, New York, was founded as the second Coptic parish in New York City, and was incorporated by 1973 with only 60 families at the time.The first one was actually St. Mary & St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church in Ridgewood, Queens, and, like St. George Church, there were many others to follow.Somewhat farther east, in Long Island, St. Abraam Coptic Orthodox Church was founded by the late 70's to serve the congregation in that region.
