Diocese-wide, the single largest parish type was territorial and the rural pastorates were almost exclusively so. National parishes outnumbered territorial only in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. Select a county and then a town from the menus above to learn about the churches of that area. If your ancestors weren't English-speaking and there wasn't a likely national parish in their town, select the appropriate parish type to try to determine the closest parish to which they may have belonged.
