Churches Play Vital Role in Small Towns Like McAdoo, PA

eye on the news Borough of Churches In northeastern Pennsylvania’s coal region, one town illustrates the vital economic and civic role of houses of worship. Cities The Social Order On a recent afternoon, I stood on a narrow street dividing the parish cemeteries of McAdoo, a small borough outside Hazleton in northeastern Pennsylvania’s coal region. Chain-link fences neatly separate the plots, with Roman or Byzantine crosses marking the different ethnic and denominational allegiances. To the west past the graves of my paternal great-grandparents in St. Patrick’s Cemetery is a panoramic view of the beautiful spires and domes for which McAdoo became known as the “borough of churches.” Many of these congregations have since closed a sad trend that preceded the Covid-19 pandemic.
