George and Kathy Palilonis
January 24, 2025
George and Kathy, a fun and loving couple, have been parishioners at Assumption BVM for 35 years. As members of the Knights of Columbus (George) and the Legion of Mary (Kathy), they have aspired to strengthen their Catholic values. Faith in God and strong family bonds have shaped their entire way of life.
They both grew up in N.E. Philadelphia and attended Catholic school. As High School sweethearts, they married in 1970. God has blessed them with two children, five grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren (#5 is due to arrive in September).
In 2020 they marked the beginning of a new journey, as they both retired from their jobs. George worked as a machine operator for a printing company and Kathy worked as a Registered Nurse. In retirement they have been enjoying spending time with their family, babysitting and helping where needed. As for “Together Time”, trips to the beach, listening to music and traveling in their RV is what keeps them smiling.
Like many other couples, they have experienced challenging times, as well as joyful celebrations over the years. What keeps them grounded? It is their belief that families are built on the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love.
