| History |
| St.
George Church was founded in 1916. Ground breaking for
the first Church in West Aliquippa was in May of 1916.
The Church was completed in 1917, and was consecrated on July 4th by
the Very Rev’d. Gabriel Martyak. The first pastor was Father
Arnold Suba. In 1964 the ground was broken by Bishop Nicholas for a
new Church building and social center in Aliquippa. The
building was completed, and dedicated in October of 1967. Since its
foundation the Church has been served by twelve priests.
The second last pastor, the Very Rev’d Msgr. Michael Simodejka, served St. George from 1946
until he fell asleep in the Lord in October 1997, on the feast of
the Protection of the Mother of God. He served St.
George community for over 50 years. Eternal Memory! |
