In partnership with Mary, Queen of Peace Parish, the St. George Church Preservation Society (SGCPS) has restored the St. George WWII plaque that was once located on the front of St. George Church in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The plaque displays the names of 1,017 St. George parishioners who served in WWII and includes the 35 who lost their lives. The names on the plaque are listed on the website at SGCPS.net
A dedication ceremony for the monument will take place at 11:00AM on Saturday, July 6. The monument is located in the St. George section of St. John Vianney Cemetery at 920 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15210. A reception will follow at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish Hall at 81 S. 13th Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15203. Please RSVP by phone or email to help us in planning for the event.
Plan to be there to honor the veterans and spread the word to all who would like to attend.
Please send SGCPS any contact information of the families of those who are named on the plaque. Leave a message at 412-502-5062 or you can send an email to contact@sgcps.net.
