SGCPS Reunion II Review and Photos

Image
  To our St. George family & community: Many of you are aware that workers for the Diocese have been dismantling the interior of St. George Church over the past few months. We are very heartbroken and disappointed that this is happening, especially in knowing that SGCPS had made viable proposals to care for the church and keep it open at no cost to the Diocese. Please stay tuned and we'll be sending more details and photos. In the meantime we will continue to preserve our St. George community and legacy.

Update on activity seen at St. George Church

Image
To our St. George Community: Recent activity indicates that the Diocese has moved forward with dismantling the interior of the church. The Stations of the Cross have been removed and scaffolding surrounds the altar. Other marble panels have been removed. It appears that stained glass windows will also be removed. We assume that the sacred items are being removed so that the structure could be transferred to another owner. Take care & God Bless, The Leadership Team at SGCPS Stations of the Cross Scaffolding around the altar Stained glass window

To all Friends, Neighbors, Supporters, Veterans, Alumni, and Parishioners of St. George and St. John Vianney: UPDATES OF 2025 January We wrapped up our membership drive and the 2025 calendar sale. February We were notified by the City of Pittsburgh that the Federal Court issued it's opinion regarding the Historic Nomination of St. George Church (St. John Vianney Church). The Court ruled that the historic nomination is invalid. We were thankful to the Historic Review Commission, the City Planning Commission and City Council for their preliminary approvals of this nomination. Also, we are thankful our faithful parishioner, Mark Wittman who submitted the application and Preservation Pittsburgh who prepared the documentation throughout the long process and also everyone who supported this nomination. June The St. George & Allentown Community gathered in the Victoria Room at Salvatore's Event Center for a memorable event presented by SGCPS. The crowd was excited and appreciative...
