St. Joseph's Lithuanian Church and School

Picture
St. Joseph's embodies many of the conflicts that took place here and overseas with the effort to establish respect and recognition of a Lithuanian nation. It was a movement that defied suppression - and overseas - even the suppression of its language. It's essence ran deeper than could ever be put into words or slogans for repetitive useless wars. It was based on an intimate physical and emotional relationship with nature and the world that had endured longer than civilizations. It was that endurance that grew and nourished the strength required to ignore everything but that relationship and hope. America's democracy revived Lithuania's  power to sing and speak about it's value to the world. Pennsylvania fueled more than the Industrial revolution - it fueled the respect and recognition of the Lithuanian nation. Lithuanians made where they stayed beautiful - in their songs and their gardens.............
