Only a few structures still stand in what was Centralia, Pennsylvania. Even fewer are visible through the tree cover from the top of an adjacent mountain overlooking what was once a thriving community. . The most notable and recognizable structure is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, whose bright-blue domes rise out of the foliage on the side of the mountain. Though all but seven of the town’s residents relocated because of the ongoing fire in the anthracite coal mine below its surface, the church continues to serve a thriving parish. . On Sunday, Aug. 27, 2017, the church was the site of the second annual “A Call to Prayer” pilgrimage. (Story for Viewfinders at NewsWorks/WHYY. Philadelphia, PA.) @newsworkswhyy . Centralia has always been a curious, sad and strange story in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Visiting the bustling church was a joy though.
