Exterior Restoration of Saint George: Scaffolding is up!

It is official: Work has commenced at Saint George! This restoration is the result of many years of both fundraising and planning. We are happy that we will be making a “50-year investment” in our community. Here are several highlights of the restoration, which include both “seen” and “unseen” items:

• New steel underground framework to address our collapsing sidewalk DONE!
  
• Repair, replacement, and cleaning of brickwork DONE!
• New exterior lighting DONE!
• A signature piece: a new (and insulated) stained glass window of our patron saint, St. George DONE!
• Refurbished stairs DONE!
• New railings DONE!
• New signage
• New support system for the failing stained glass upper lintel DONE!

As our community is very much active, there will be no disruption in the activities and operation of the church during this renovation.

We would like to thank all who have supported this effort—we are indebted to you! While the majority of fundraising has been completed, the Capital Fund is still open for contributions so we can fully complete this effort. Let’s work to ensure that our 1886 building is prepared for the future!

Feel free to contact us if you would like to contribute. Email stgeorgechurchnyc@gmail.com or call 929-515-6795.

Stewardship is the cornerstone of giving to the Church. It represents each family’s individual financial commitment to the continuation of the Church, and the collective commitments serve the practical function of allowing our church to meet its expenses. 

The Church’s goal is to completely offset its annual operating expenses through stewardship contributions. Meeting that goal would provide the Church with the stability and sustainability to use funds from fundraisers and other donations to expand ministries and to build existing programs, rather than having to use those proceeds to cover the Church’s operating budget.
