I hope the parishioners appreciate what they have. Etnick, Hawk Run and South Fork are the only Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Churches to have kept their original icon screens in the Clearfield, Centre, Blair, Cambria, Somerset Counties of South West Central PA. We know why Hawk Run retained it's icon screen. The Hawk Run parish first left the then Pittsburgh Exarchate in the 1930's to join the then newly-formed "American Carpatho-Russian Greek Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite". It later left the "Johnstown Diocese" over some strange events that happened in the early 1950's. South Fork parish is really the only (continuously, never left the Pittsburgh Exarchate/Ruthenian Archeparchy-now-known-as-the-"Sui Juris Metropolitan Byzantine Church of America") to have kept it's original ikonostas. It is a nice little parish that celebrated it's Centennial anniversary in September '05. I hope and pray that this parish will stay open. It is a good example of what our churches were like "back in the day"! Ung
