To all Friends, Neighbors, Supporters, Alumni, and Parishioners of St. George and St. John Vianney: HAPPY 2025 TO OUR ST. GEORGE COMMUNITY!
UPDATES of 2024
WWII MONUMENT On Veterans Day, 2023, we announced our partnership with Mary, Queen of Peace Parish to repair and restore the St. George WWII plaque that was once located on the front of St. George Church. A plan was developed to place the plaque on a new monument in the St. George section of St. John Vianney cemetery in Carrick. A dedicated parishioner from the Class of 66 volunteered to perform the extensive repairs and restoration of the plaque. We had a large brick monument constructed where the restored plaque is now displayed. On July 6, 2024, we organized a dedication ceremony to honor the 1017 veterans whose names are inscribed on the monument. Everyone, including the descendants of the parishioners who are named on the plaque, can now honor those who served. With approval of our major donors, proceeds from the SGCPS restoration fund were used to cover the costs of the plaque restoration, monument construction and dedication ceremony. For more details about the monument, please check our website at www.SGCPS.net/wwii-monument HISTORIC DESIGNATION In light of the Vatican decision, we notified the Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission that the decision may have an effect on the Federal Court injunction. We are waiting on their response. At this time, the historic designation is still on hold. FELLOWSHIP EVENTS Over the years, one of our most significant accomplishments was to be able to bring the St. George & Allentown Community together for our various fellowship events. We could gather and enjoy the company of all of our friends, family, supporters, and community. If you know of any friends and family who would like to be notified of future events, please ask them to contact us at: contact@SGCPS.net or call 412-502-5062. ARCHIVES SGCPS will continue to provide storage for St. George archives, trophies and memorabilia while working to secure a place for permanent display.
