Saint John the Baptist Carpatho-Russian Greek Catholic Church
1 December 2008
St John the Baptist Orthodox Church
The local Saint John the Baptist Church begun August 22, 1926 with a meeting in a home in Burnstown. The purpose of the meeting was to make plans to begin a church in Ellwood City. Originally the church was known as Saint Peter and Paul Greek Catholic Church of Rome.
In 1928 the church purchased the building of the Church of God on First Ave in Hazel Dell/Ellwood City. The building is still located there though it is no longer used.
We can list the history of the church in Ellwood City, date the locations were built, list the pastors, so on and so on. However that is not really what we started this site for. We need MEMORIES. Funny stories, touching stories, you know, the good stuff. Stories like the time old mister whatzisname snored so loud the preacher had to stop the service, the kids growing up in the church, or the entire church coming together as one to help.
