Excellent Account of Pittsburgh Catholic History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What a great book. Mary Ann Knochel did a great job conveying the history, charm and elegance of Pittsburgh catholics with her book. The photos are incredible as they seem to come to life. This book is a must have if you enjoy local history even if you're noth catholic!
