Catholic and Orthodox Churches in Northeast Pennsylvania

Necrology

All have some tie to NEPA, whether by birth or vocation. This is a work in progress and names and dates are added as I can from many sources. Thousands of men and women either served in NEPA or were born there and served elsewhere. If you know of a NEPA religious or clergyman you feel should be included, please send the information.
