The West Side contains a few churches that harken back to old Europe. Â The first is the Bulgarian Orthodox Church:
Next, a new feature featuring a video production of the the Romanian Orthodox Church. Â Thanks to my friend Mike for putting all of this together:
More Pics:
Finally, the Catholic Church and Gymnasium on West St Clair Street (Formerly the Slovenian Roman Catholic Church).
There was also a Serbian Orthodox Church on the near West Side, but they have moved away from their 16th Street location.
Holy Trinity Catholic Church is not “formerly” the Slovenian Roman Catholic Church. It still is. A majority of the parishoners are descendants from the original families that built it.
Thanks for posting the pics.
Thanks, I wasn’t sure about that since the Slovenian name was not on the front sign.
I’m actually working on the new building going up alongside the Slovenian church, inspecting construction progress tomorrow morning. But the church is a beautiful old building, and it is definitely treasured by the residents.
I have been very impressed by the focus of the church on helping the neighborhood and the local community. It’s a good one.
Neat, we were wondering what they were building there.
Love the pics of the inside
