|  | Chapel Preservation
The ongoing restoration and preservation of what many consider the "Heart of the Hilltop" is supported by the Friends of the St. George's Chapel. Organized in 2009, 546 Founding Friends (alumni/ae, parents, faculty and staff, and other friends of the school) helped to raise over $1.27 million to fund the east wall and altar window project (2008-2010).
Their stewardship of the Chapel continues and underscores the importance of annual, grassroots support in preserving this national treasure for future generations. Please join the Friends of the St. George's Chapel today.
The Friends and other benefactors contribute to a variety of chapel restoration efforts including those pictured to the right.
Looking ahead, the remaining limestone-and-mortar walls and buttresses are in need of being repointed, repaired, and cleaned. The installation of exterior glazing will tighten the building's envelope and help to preserve the stained-glass windows that have come to define the Chapel's interior over the years. Several original windows remain available to receive stained glass.
For more information on the restoration of the Chapel or to schedule a guided tour, contact Bill Douglas in the Alumni/ae Office at 1-888-ICALLSG (422-5574) or via email at bill_douglas@stgeorges.edu. |
