I am on the Museum Committee of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society. I have a collection of 1300 Orthodox and Greek Catholic parish histories. We are trying to preserve the legacy of these early Slavic immigrants before it is lost forever. We are trying to locate an original copy of the 50th Anniversary book published in 1958 for St. Mary's Assumption Orthodox Church (OCA) in St. Clair PA. St. Mary's was founded by Russophile Lemkos who orginally attended St. Michael's Greek Catholic (now Orthodox) Church in St. Clair. St. Clair is one those Penensylvania coal towns which gave new meaning to the concept of ecclesial diversity: five Eastern churches. Can anyone help?

John,

I'll add it to my ever-expanding list of books for which I regularly search and will let you know if I spot anything.

Many years,

Neil
