The first pictures on this week's blog were all taken on a Friday afternoon in the Central Park area in the city of Johnstown, PA.

I got a little artsy with this shot of an alley way off the Central Park area. This is one of ten versions of the photograph.
While FolkFest was occurring in one part of Johnstown, the Ethnic Festival was going on in the Cambria City section. One of the highlights of this festival has been the tours of the local churches. All but one of the Roman Catholic Churches in Cambria City will be closed within the next year. The next four photographs were taken inside SS. Casimir and Emerich Church which was dedicated in 1902.

The old main altar in the apse, and side altars. The towering pulpit on the left is made of oak.
This is a visitor to the Johnstown from Mystic, CT. The statue of St. Francis reflects the Franciscan Friars, OFMConv. who serve the faithful of this parish.

The next three photographs were taken of the dome above the altar in St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church in the Cambria City area of Johnstown, PA. This is not one of the churches affected by the closing of the Roman Catholic Churches.

Behind the stage, and across the Conemaugh River from Cambria City, are these houses in an area called Minersville.
