Here are details on the closingof the histoic St. Michael's BCC in South Fork PA. It has a majestic iconostasis and was the residence of Bishop Soter Stephen Ortynsky when he first arrived in the US in 1907.

Sad to see yet another parish close. I visited this church 6 years ago while staying in Johnstown. It was a Saturday and the parishioners were cleaning in preparation of the 100th anniversary.

The Iconostas is one of the finest I've ever seen. Glad to hear that it's going to another parish.
