[1][2] He was born on May 6, 1949 as Đorđe Đokić in the village of Crnjelovo Gornje near Bijeljina to father Krsto and mother Krunija (née Arsenović) who gave their children to the church.

From 1967 to 1969, he was part of the first generation of students at a two-year monastic school in the Ostrog monastery at a time when the manager and professor was hieromonk Irinej (Gavrilović), who was later the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

He was enthroned in the Saint Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Hamilton on the day of the Intercession of the Theotokos on October 14, 1984.

The enthronement was performed by the Bishop of East America and Canada Christopher who on that occasion officially handed over the Canadian diocese.

[7][8] The case reached Canadian courts but on September 12, 2018, the Crown Attorney's Office announced before the Ontario Court of Justice in Milton that it was withdrawing fraud charges against Bishop Georgije and not proceeding with the charges because there was "no reasonable prospect of conviction".
