Today I received e-mail from a fellow Our Lady of Vilnius parishioner regarding the case of St. George's Church in Shenandoah, PA. St. George's is the oldest Lithuanian church in the United States. My fellow parishioner said:" A page and a half in Lithuanian Newspaper Draugas (Chicago) details the impending shameful destruction of St. George's church in Shenandoah PA Church. It is the oldest Lithuanian Church and parish in the USA. The diocese of Allentown employed virtually identical formula that was used to liquidate OLV. "
News of the demolition is also available via a piece on the WNEP website, Historic Church Demolition Begins".
Keep abreast of this story on the website of those trying to save this historic church

The pathetic Catholic Church in American is consumed by legal bills for its shameful defense of Catholic pedophile clergy and it views tearing down old churches despite their cultural and historic significance as a quick solution. They care nothing about Lithuanians and most other East Europeans who helped establish the Catholic Church in the U.S. except the Poles of course - size matters (size queens). I curse Lithuanian history for not having seized the opportunity during the Reformation and dropped the duplicitous Catholic faith when it had the chance. I no longer am a believer and pray for the downfall of the Catholic Church..
