Parish Prayer Partners

by Leave a Comment

Sign up to participate in Parish Prayer Partners in Fall

Prayer is powerful, and twice a year we invite parishioners to intentionally pray for one another for a series of weeks. Those who participate receive the name of another St. Georgian or household to pray for, and someone else will be praying for you, all anonymous until the prayer partners are revealed at the end of the season. Our clergy send suggestions about how to pray each week. Parish Prayer Partners in Fall will occur between November 2 and December 14. Sign up here.

Public Notice of Intent to Relocate Interments within the St. George’s Episcopal Church Cemetery in Fredericksburg, Virginia

  1. APPLICANT:
    St. George’s Episcopal Church
    905 Princess Anne Street
    Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401
  2. PROPOSED WORK AND NEED FOR RELOCATION: The applicant proposes to perform three modifications to the church property located at 905 Princess Anne Street (GPIN #7789-14-3959) in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Proposed improvements include a handicapped access ramp, a new columbarium, and a walkway railing installation. All will take place within the Church cemetery, which contains numerous burials dating to the eighteenth and nineteenth century; some burials are marked with headstones and others are not. It is believed that approximately 16 burials are located in the improvement areas.

The Applicant has determined that disturbance of the cemetery cannot be avoided due to necessary work on the parcel to accommodate the improvements. Pursuant to the requirements of VA Code §10.1-2305, the Applicant intends to apply for a burial permit through the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) to allow the archaeological excavation and relocation of the aforementioned burials within the footprint of the ramp, columbarium, and railing. A copy of the completed application may be requested from DHR.

The exhumed human remains and funerary objects will be temporarily curated in a secure location at Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (a Mead & Hunt company) located in the City of Fredericksburg and will be respectfully reburied in an alternative location within the St. George’s Episcopal Church Cemetery, unless otherwise requested by interested parties.
