Special Award to St. George’s

by 1 Comment

We are pleased to announce that St. George’s has received the 2026 Michael Allen Hoffman Award for “significant contributions to historic preservation in the Commonwealth of Virginia.” The Council of Virginia Archaeologists (CoVA) recognized St. George’s for the archaeological work conducted as part of our Open to All in Love construction project. Our project partners at Mead & Hunt nominated us for this prestigious honor.

In their nomination, they wrote:

“This nomination is to honor and highlight the incredible work that has been sponsored by St. George’s as they seek to learn more about their property and understand their extremely long and rich role in Fredericksburg’s past.”

Our Open to All in Love Project Manager, Laurel Loch attended the CoVA awards banquet to accept the award on St. George’s behalf. Many of the professional archaeologists attending expressed their enthusiasm for our project and expressed gratitude for our commitment and support of archaeology. Thank you, St. Georgians for your generous support of this project and for helping uncover and share our history with others.

There’s plenty of parking on the street, as well as in the Trinity lot across the street. We will have snacks, drinks, and fellowship for humans!

You are invited this Sunday, September 27 to a special children and youth led worship service at 10 am. During the service children and youth will play active roles as greeters, ushers, readers and preachers.

There are plenty of jobs left to fill, so feel free to just show up that morning ready to serve. All children and youth are welcome to participate. It is sure to be a joy filled service for all ages.

Interested in Baptism?

We have two upcoming occasions for Holy Baptism: All Saints Day, Sunday, November 1 and the commemoration of the Baptism of Jesus on January 10. Anyone interested in exploring baptism for themselves or for a child should contact the church office (office@stgeorgesepiscopal.net) and/or fill out a baptism inquiry form.  There is a preparation process for adult and older child/youth baptism candidates as well as for parent (or other adult sponsors) of infant/child/youth candidates. Candidates for both upcoming dates will prepare together. Notify the office as soon as possible (no later than September 27) in order to allow enough time for preparation.
