Pledge Drive II posted  Oct 21, 2016, 1:41 PM   WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR A SUCCESSFUL PLEDGE DRIVE!!!  In September, we were notified that the Vatican revoked the decision to close the former St. George church. Now, we need to show the Diocese and the Vatican that together, we can provide the resources to reopen and restore the church. This nationwide pledge drive is reaching out to all of our St. George Family and supporters. PLEDGE DRIVE II  We are asking for your pledge to make a donation each month to fund the restoration of the former St. George Church once it is reopened. Recent proposals estimate that the work can be completed over 5 years. Once an  agreement has been reached and the restoration work is started, you will be contacted to  begin payments on your pledge. If 180 donors pledge an average of $50 per month, ($12 per week) we will exceed our 5 year  goal of $527,000.  Pledge Drive II ends on November 1, 2016.  Your Memorial/Honor Roll dedication names will then be posted o
