Schuylkill County, PA Churches

Schuylkill County has many churches representing the vast ethnic cultures and religions that exist in this Historic Region.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Allentown has announced a restructuring plan that includes the closing of 32 churches, more than half those in Schuylkill County.

Of the county’s 62 parishes, at least 39 will be eliminated while seven new parishes will be created from some of those closed.

The plans are to go into effect July 15, 2008. It is a sad time for many faithful Catholics in the county.

Good evening, I had a great-uncle who died as a child. I am trying to find his grave and any other information on him. The information I do have is as follows: He was known as Tony Anthony. He fell off a wagon and hit his head. He was most likely born between 1911 and 1914. My grandfather was born in 1915; he remembered the accident. It happened at Christmas time. So my guess is that Tony died some time between 1918 and 1925. However, that's just a guess. A cousin thinks Tony is buried in Shenandoah Hill Cemetery. (Note: Tony's parents were Nahura and Werdie...also know as George and Rose Anthony.) Does this cemetery exist? Another cousin wonders if the family used to attend Our Lady of Mercy Syrian Church. Do you know if any records have been kept on the church or the cemetery? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you so much for creating this beautiful gallery and adding the captions. There are so many churches from all types of denominations that are losing their congregations. The details of the workmanship on the inside and outside of these beautiful buildings are in danger of being destroyed by time, lack of funds for maintenance, etc.

Hi my name is Chris Mills and from Fountain Springs previoulsy and currently live in Pottsville I was wondering if you could find some time to get a picture of St. Mauritius, in Ashland up on the hill St Pat's in Pottsville & St.Stans up on the hill in Minersville that would be much nice to see as well, for anyone who has time to go to the locations and get nice pictures of these beautiful Chruches befroe there forgotten.

Thank you for these pictures. I remember some of these churches, from over 50 years ago. Another, I learned (circa 1998) played a large part in my mother's family history: St. George's in Shenandoah....a truly beautiful structure. How glad I am that my grt-grandmother's grand niece, from Illinois, was able to visit & see where their grandmother married, & their mother & her siblings were baptized.

I am the Editor of the Polish Eaglet, journal of the Polish Genealogical Society of Michigan, www.pgsm.org. I would like permission to possibly use a couple of photos: St. Mary, Mahanoy City and St. Michael, Shenandoah, in our Spring 2012 issue. roger.pgsm@gmail.com

Thanks for posting these pictures. My mother-in-law grew up in Mahanoy City and attended St. Joseph's church. She said each ethnic group attended a different church. The Lithuanians went to St. Joseph, the Irish went to St. Canicus, and I forget the others.

We are coming to Schuylkill County (a youth mission trip) in July so I thought of doing some research -- WOW, I am blown away at the beauty and history! Can't wait to see it in person!!! Thanks for this wonderful website!

I have been trying to find a photo of St. Stephen's Church for the longest time. You have the rectory with a bit of the church and I am thrilled to have that. Thanks.
