Coatesville Historic Church Tour Set For Saturday

Blessed Virgin Mary Byzantine Catholic Church

This from this Today's Daily Local News:

History and religion will unite on Saturday, September 17th during the second annual Coatesville Historic Church Tour.

Visitors will be able to tour seven different churches in the city, two in Caln and one in Valley. The tour is free and will be run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"There are so many old, historic, beautiful churches in the City of Coatesville and we felt that other denominations do not usually get to view those churches, so it was a good idea to open them up to the public," said Jo-ann Doyle, one of the event's organizers.

The 9 churches included on the tour are:
  • Hutchinson Memorial UAME Church, 825 E. Chestnut St.
  • Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 107 S. 17th Ave.
  • Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 80 S. 17th Ave
  • St. Cecilia's Church, 99 N. Sixth Ave.
  • St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, 11 Oak St.
  • Tabernacle Baptist Church, 819 Coates St.
  • Blessed Virgin Mary Byzantine Catholic Church, 88 Gap Road; 
  • Episcopal Church of the Trinity, 323 Lincoln Highway
  • Holy Ghost Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 392 Charles St.
  • Holy Trinity Church of God in Christ, 101 N. Fifth Ave.
