The Churches of Pittsburgh

I’m working on an independent project documenting the Churches of Pittsburgh. The following are churches I plan to photograph over the next week or two. I’ll be breaking a bit from this blog’s general topic of photography because there’s just so much history with these churches that I won’t be able to resist sharing some tidbits I’ve learned along the way.

Saint Mary on the Mount Parish on Mt. Washington
First Presbyterian Church in downtown Pittsburgh
Trinity Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh
St. Nicholas Church in Millvale
Smithfield United Church of Christ
First Lutheran Church in downtown Pittsburgh
St. Stanislaus Kostka in the Strip District
Heinz Chapel in Oakland
St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland
Saint Mary on the Mount
Epiphany Catholic Church in downtown Pittsburgh

I’m also considering photographing the following churches over the next month or so: Mount Ararat Baptist Church, St. Anthony’s Reliquary, Iron City Church and Hot Metal Church. Bellevue Christian Church is on my list too, but its sanctuary is currently being remodeled.

If anyone out there would like to recommend a church to add to my list, please leave a comment. We have so many beautiful churches in Pittsburgh and I’m learning about more and more everyday.
