Shortly after the construction of the church, in 1813, the population of the parish was 5,322 males and 7,690 females (these included Roman Catholics as well as Protestants).

An early Rector of St George's parish was Revd William Bushe, who, in 1823, invited Roman Catholics who were resident in the parish to discuss matters of faith.
The church was filled for his series of evangelical Wednesday evening lectures which discussed the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.
Rev. Charles Henry Minchin also served in the Church.
Rev. Samuel Eccles was also a chaplain to the church.
Rev. Cecil Faull also served the church as a curate, and then as Rector from 1971 until 1980.

The St. George's Widows home was connected to the Church as was the St. Georges Dispensary on Dispensary Lane, off Lower Dorset Street, with the priests of the parish and laypeople as trustees of the Dispensary.

In the 20th century the parish grew steadily and was in the 1950s the largest in the Republic.
At the time it was served by three other churches: St. Aidan's (Drumcondra Road Lwr and Dargle Road, Iron building from 1881, a new building designed by Richard Francis Caulfield Orpen was consecrated in 1902, demolished in 1963), Dublin Female Penitentiary (St. Augustine's) on Berkely Road and the Free Church (Great Charles Street), in addition to the parish church.
