Of Interest
In 1877 St. John's Memorial Evangelical Lutheran, at Churchville, Piney Township. There were three Methodist churches in Piney Twp. Also, there was a Union Baptist Church in Piney during that year.
In 1887, Sligo also housed a Roman Catholic Church, but no further information on this church is available at this time. The Clarion County Centennial celebration publication of 1940 states that at one time Catholics met on the fourth floor of the brick store (probably the Hodil Store).
Up until sometime in the 60's, the Sligo Charge of Methodist churches comprised Cherry Run, Sligo, Curllsville, Pine Grove, and Monroe Chapel. Somewhere in 60's the charge was divided -- Curllsville and Monroe Chapel became a separate appointment. |
