St. Basil's the Great Catholic Church, Coalport

Church, Blain City, Coalport, Pa

Saint Basil the Great Parish in Coalport began as a mission, and was erected as a parish in its own right in 1885. The parish church was solemnly blessed on June 14, 1887. [1] From its creation in 1885 until 2008, Saint Basil the Great Parish had a full-time pastor, but since 2008 the parish has shared a pastor with Holy Trinity Parish in Ramey.[1] Blain City and Coalport are towns in southern Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, that border one another and it is difficult to tell where one town ends and the other begins. The photographer labeled the back of her photograph with both names.

St. Basil the Great had three missions: Saint Anthony church in Janesville, 1886 to 1922; Saint Aloysius church in Morgan Land, 1886 to 1926; and Saint Richard church in Blandburg, Altoona, 1920s.[1]
