The Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of St. Michael The Archangel

“The Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of St. Michael the Archangel is located at 431 s. Claymont St. This church was organized in January, 1915, with a membership consisting of 25 families. The church was incorporated on Jan. 23, 1915. The two-story house on the present site was purchased on Mar. 11, 1915. It was remodeled for use as a church on the first floor and for a school and priest’s apartment on the second floor. The church was consecrated by Bishop Alexander, the head of the church in the United States and Canada. A few years later the brick parish – house was built adjoining the church. It is also used as a school and contains an apartment for the priest.” (1)
