To all Alumni, Friends,  Neighbors, Supporters and Parishioners of St. George and  St. John Vianney:   HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR ST. GEORGE FAMILY! UPDATES  & 2021 IN REVIEW   VATICAN APPEAL Our appeal of the closing of St. George Church (St. John Vianney) advanced to the Apostolic Signatura (Supreme Court) at the Vatican in 2019. Although we expected their final decision in late 2020, the pandemic has added to the delay and we still wait.

With the help of the St. George Family and supporters, we are ready to provide for the care and restoration of the church at no cost to the Diocese. There are over 60 Catholic churches in other dioceses that are being cared for by organizations like S...
