Episcopal Diocese reopens churches


The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh is reopening the first of three parishes closed for several years, diocesan officials announced Thursday.

"What we're doing is making sure people who want to worship in the Episcopal tradition have a place to do so," said Rich Creehan, diocese spokesman.

The first service at St. James Episcopal Church, 11524 Frankstown Road in Penn Hills, which closed in 2008, will take place at 9 a.m. Sunday. The congregation will be led by the Rev. Vicente Santiago.
