Hi Michael, What happened to St George’s, Richmond?
That is a great question! In 1966 it was forced to merge with the Diocese’s Polish Mission – Holy Redeemer. In that year the parish was known as the Church of St. George and the Holy Redeemer. To say the merger was a disaster would be an understatement. In 1969 the parish was closed. Many of its members transferred their membership to Grace Church and the Incarnation (formerly St. George’s Venango). The building was subsequently demolished, though, I don’t know when exactly.
Thank you! I’m always amazed at your DIOPA historical knowledge. If this was today with Bishop Gutierrez, St George would still be.
Peace,
Janet
