Rt. Rev. Msgr. George J. Weber, son of Bernhard and Mary Harter Weber, was a priest of the Diocese of Buffalo New York, and was ordained on July 13, 1884 at Velno Holland. He was assigned as Assistant Pastor at St. Louis Church upon his return to the States. Then he became administrator and pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Buffalo remaining there for 22 years. He did much to build up that church's buildings and finances.
At the time of his death, he was pastor of St. Mary of Sorrows Church, having been appointed in 1911. He served that parish for 24 years.
Msgr Weber was a very popular priest. Catholic Action and Justice were issues close to his heart, especially the Encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno. He was one of the founders of The Echo, which was eventually merged with the Catholic Union and became the diocesan Paper, Union and Echo, and later the Magnificat, and The Western New York Catholic.
