Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


St. Patrick’s Church and Cemetery, Noblestown

West front of St. Patrick’s Church

According to the parish history at the diocesan site, this church was built in 1900, after previous buildings had been destroyed by fire twice in the 1890s. In old Pa Pitt’s opinion, the black tinted window coverings do the church no favors, but no one asked him.

Behind the church is a cemetery remarkable for its precipitous slope, which makes it necessary for some plots to be terraced.

    Of course a Pittsburgh grave would be two stories on one side and three on the other.
