Inside St. Anselm Church, Swissvale

Nave of St. Anselm Church

The interior of St. Anselm in Swissvale, one of the seven churches in St. Joseph the Worker parish scheduled to close this month. We’ll have a separate article for the stained glass. Father Pitt publishes these pictures with gratitude to the parish volunteers who held a simultaneous open house in all the churches of the parish on Sunday, February 22. Old Pa Pitt managed to get to five of the churches during the two-hour window.

    Having attended mass every Sunday and another grade school day for all my grade school years, I know the structure of this church very well.
    The church needs to be saved.
