| The next church in our Seven-Church Pilgrimage on Holy Thursday |
The modern red brick structure that houses these holy doors began as a humble frame building in 1930 that was converted into a church. In 1931, Bishop Hugh Boyle approved a mission parish to be built in the surrounding area and gave two brothers the privilege of naming the parish. Those brothers, considering this quite an important responsibility, chose a saint’s name for whom their own mother was named, and who played an important part in British and Scottish history. In November of 1952 a new school and church were dedicated and thegymnasium named for the first pastor of the parish, Fr. McDonough. The school remains open and educates close to 300 students each day. If you think you know the name of the church, please send your guesses to Ginny Ambrose at vambrose@verizon.net or (412) 264-6162 Ext. 24.
Ruth Platek correctly guessed the doors belonging to Ascension Parish in Ingram in the March 4 bulletin. And last week’s beautifully etched holy doors belong to SS Simon and Jude Parish in Scott Twp. Donna Marano-Ricci once again correctly guessed! The Seven-Church Pilgrimage takes place immediately following Mass on Holy Thursday, April 5.
