Framing Faith - Remembering 10 Catholic Churches

Ten Catholic churches have been closed in the Scranton Diocese in recent years. The author has written historical profiles of them with special notes about the Irish, German, Polish, Italian and Austrian ethnic origins of each. Ivana Pavelka worked with students in the local Arts Engage program to photograph special attributes of each site. The book serves to tell the story of immigrants and their descendants in our northeast area.
