From Northwestern PA-Sept. 15, 2013, marks 150 years St. James Episcopal Memorial Church has served the people of Titusville and others who use its central location as an agreeable meeting spot for many diocesan groups in the area.
First, on Aug. 10, the day of the Oil Festival, a carnival will be held in the side lawn of the church. It is planned to follow immediately after the parade and last until approximately 4 p.m.
Following the carnival, there will be a 150th anniversary celebration, on Sept. 15. A regular service/worship will be held at 10:30 a.m., followed by an afternoon service with the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pa., the Art. Rev. Sean W. Rowe, at a time to be announced.
However, to keep the church chugging along for many years to come, the old building must be well looked after and renovated, as needed.
According to Andy Schlicht, junior warden and co-treasurer of the church, along with Dave Gagnon, in recent years the parish hall and front steps have been in need of repairs.
“The parish hall used to have carpeted flooring,” said Schlicht, “It got old and hard to keep clean.”
