Download or read book McKees Rocks and Stowe Township written by Bernadette Sulzer Agreen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McKees Rocks and Stowe Township, just downriver from the Point of Pittsburgh, contributed significantly to the growth of steel and transportation in western Pennsylvania. In 1888, the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, known as the “Little Giant,” built a 100-acre maintenance facility in McKees Rocks, igniting the spark to the region’s massive industrial, business, and population explosion. By 1910, the population soared to 15,000, fueled by the rapid influx of nearly 6,000 immigrants. A landmark event in labor history occurred in July 1909, when 5,000 foreign workers, representing 16 different nationalities, waged a long and bloody strike against the Pressed Steel Car Company. McKees Rocks and Stowe Township showcases a region whose diverse history includes the largest Native American mound in Pennsylvania, visits by George Washington, floods, and even Al Capone. Today a rich mix of ethnic cultures still flavors the local neighborhoods, and the accomplishments of homegrown businessmen, musicians, clergy, athletes, public servants, artists, and educators are recognized and respected throughout western Pennsylvania and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-five years of caring: F.O.R. Celebrities Focus on Renewal, an incorporated neighborhood development center, celebrates more than thirty-five years of service and commitment to the people of Stowe-McKees Rocks. Under the late John Cardinal Wright, the center opened its main street, storefront doors in 1969, with little else than $3,000 a month budget, and the charismatic, volunteer leadership of its co-founders, the Rev, Donald C. Fisher, diocesan clergy, and Sr. Paulette Honeygosky, vincentian sister of charity. Before Bishop Vincent M. Leonard retired in 1983, the center was operating with its own self-sustaining and incorporated Neighborhood Family Health Center, Credit Union, Transportation for the Handicapped Service, and a Town Meeting style of self-government. The Center returned its $3,000 monthly budget to the diocese in 1983, with a wish that "it be given to a neighborhood more needy than us, to help it get started." In 1979, Fr. Fisher relocated to work in Africa. In 1984, Sr. Paulette went to the Jesuit National Education Office in Washington D.C. But the work of the center, well-grounded in the gospel and well-founded in corporate and organization structure, continued on under the leadership of diocesan clergyman, Rev. Regis Ryan, and The Sisters of St. Joseph. This is the McKees Rocko, Pennsylvania story "About Ordinary Folks Who Said We Can't And They Did."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saints are not born. Saints are made. Told against the fourth-century backdrop of the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity, The Saint’s Mistress breathes life into the previously untold story of Saint Augustine and his beloved mistress. Defying social norms and traditions, the love between the Roman aristocrat Aurelius Augustinus and Leona, a North African peasant, creates a rift with Aurelius’ mother Monnica, his powerful patron Urbanus, and the marital laws of the Roman Empire. When Monnica and Urbanus succeed in separating Leona from her son and securing a more suitable fiancée for Aurelius, Leona commits herself to the Church. Feeling the ever stronger pull of the evolving Christian church, Leona and Aurelius walk separate paths in service of their faith. When many years later Leona and Aurelius, now Bishop Augustine, meet again, old passions re-ignite, perennial feuds smolder, and the fate of the Roman Empire in North Africa hangs in the balance. A love story for the ages, The Saint’s Mistress brings to life the monumental struggle between love, faith and religious office.

Download or read book Bottom Liner Blues written by K. C. Constantine and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1993-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its shut-down mines, with its scarred and restive blue-collar descendants of Eastern European and Italian immigrants, Rocksburg, Pennsylvania, is in the midst of tough times. And no one has it tougher than its own police chief, Mario Balzic. Working harder and longer hours than he ever did in his long-ago rookie days, Balzic again pilots a black-and-white through the town's brooding streets. The recent death of his mother, whose warm presence is especially missed by his wife Ruth, doesn't make it easier. Balzic answers a call: a strange woman, Valery, mother of a young daughter named Coo, warns that her violent husband may exact a brutal form of revenge on a truck-driver with a shady past. She wants Balzic to head off the attack, but supplies few details. Balzic senses worse trouble ahead than suggested by Valery - and events prove Balzic's instincts apocalyptically correct. Meanwhile, at the local tavern, Balzic encounters Myushkin, a wild, deceptively eccentric Russian-American writer, with nine novels to his credit, no visible means of support, and an alarming facility with a .22 revolver. It's Myushkin who becomes Balzic's spiritual guide through the case - and a peculiarly American, distinctly personal brand of hell.
