Still writing, still revising. But in the meantime, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has given me a beautiful gift — a glimpse inside the now-abandoned Our Lady Help of Christians. It’s sad to see something that was such a vital part of the community come to ruin like that. But the photography here shows how grand the church must have been. It’s even easier to imagine, now, what it was like when my great-grandparents walked under those arches. How my grandfather and his siblings must have strained their necks to look at the stained glass windows or follow the shadow of the sun across the pillars.
